Use this task to run one or more processes from an ASCII
or text file.
To run one or more processes from an ASCII or text
file, specify:
PR0CMND /R @filename
- PR0CMND
- Type PR0CMND to begin the command line sequence. Note that
the character following PR is the number 0 (zero).
- /R
- Specify /R or –R to run the process parameters specified
in the parameter file.
- @filename
- Enter the @ sign followed by the name of the file that contains
the parameters for the process(es) (required). If the parameter file
is not in the default Data Directory, you must specify the full directory
path.
File Format
See
the command line syntax in Extract, Insert, Load, and Convert Process Syntax when
formatting process parameters in a text file. You can include several
action requests or scheduled jobs in the file. The following guidelines
apply:
- Specify each action request or scheduled job on
a separate line in the file. Begin each action request with the TYPE parameter.
- You can specify an optional command-line keyword
to stop processing on error. Use the STOP=errorcode command‑line
keyword for each process request in the input file.
- You can also run a scheduled job. Use the JOB=jobname command-line keyword. (The STOP=errorcode command-line
keyword does not apply to scheduled jobs.)
For example, consider a parameter file named
STATS.TXT containing the following:
TYPE=EXTRACT REQUEST=MONTHLY.SALES STOP=WARNING TYPE=EXTRACT REQUEST=MONTHLY.QUOTAS TYPE=INSERT
REQUEST=SALES.YTD STOP=FATAL
To run the requests, specify:
PR0CMND /R @C:\STATS.TXT
