Parameter Description Values
startt Identifies the date, day, and time to start the
Process. Sterling Connect:Direct places the
Process in the Timer queue in WS (Waiting for
Start Time) status. The date, day, and time are
positional parameters. If you do not specify
date or day, a comma must precede time.
Do not code the startt parameter when you
specify retain=initial.
[date | day][,hh:mm:ss [am | pm]]
date—Specifies the day (dd), month (mm), and
year (yy), which you can code as mm/dd/yyyy
or mm-dd-yyyy. If you only specify date, the time
defaults to 00:00:00, which indicates midnight.
The current date is the default.
day—Specifies the day of the week. Values are
today, tomorrow, yesterday, monday, tuesday,
wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, and
sunday.
hh:mm:ss [am | pm]—Specifies the time of day in
hours (hh), minutes (mm), and seconds (ss). You
can specify the hour in either 12- or 24-hour
format. If you use 12-hour format, then you must
specify am or pm. The default is the 24-hour
format. The default value is 00:00:00, which
indicates midnight. If you specify only the day
value, the time defaults to 00:00:00. This means
that if you submit a Process on Monday, with
monday as the only startt parameter, the Process
does not run until the following Monday at
midnight.
&symbolic
name 1
&symbolic
name 2
&symbolic
name n
Specifies a symbolic parameter assigned a
value. The value is substituted within the
Process when the symbolic parameter is
encountered.
The value for the symbolic parameter must be
in double quotation marks if it is a keyword or
contains special characters. If you want to
reserve the double quotation marks when the
symbolic name is resolved in the Process,
enclose the double-quoted string in single
quotes, for example:
&filename = “‘filename with spaces'”
The symbolic name itself must not be a subset
of any other symbolic name. (You cannot have,
for example, a symbolic name called ¶m
and another symbolic name called ¶meter
in the same Process.)
variable string 1
variable string 2
variable string n
The symbolic name cannot exceed 32 characters.
