To add a variable parameter:
1. Click Select to display the Parameter Setup dialog box to setup variable
parameters.
2. Select the parameter you want to add from the list of Available parameters.
3. Click Add Item.
NOTES:
• You can click Delete Item to delete a parameter from the Parameter
formula, or delete the entire parameter formula by clicking Delete Formula.
• You can also enter literal strings in the Parameter Formula dialog box.
Variable parameters are added to the formula enclosed in <> marks (e.g.
<BATCH_NAME>).
When the batch is output, the actual value will be substituted and the value
passed as a parameter.
For example, the parameter formula <BATCH_NAME> one two "three four"
produces the following four parameters:
/BATCH_NAME=Batch99999
one
two
three four
Omit “/tagname=” identifiers on parameters — by default, parameters will
be passed to the invoked application preceded by a string of the form /
tagname= where tagname identifies the parameter type (e.g. /
BATCH_NAME=Batch001). Selecting this option will omit this identifier and the
program will have to know the number and sequence of passed parameters in
order to interpret them properly.
For example, if Omit “/tagname=” identifiers on parameters was selected
the formula: <BATCH_NAME> one two "three four" would produce the
following parameters:
Batch99999
one
two
three four
