In order to make the Job Launcher a truly flexible application you may specify any number of parameters that may then be used within your Job Launcher program. These are held as pairs of information e.g. Parameter Name / Parameter Value.

If you are using the Cobwebb supplied Parameter Maintenance program WRKJOBLP then you will see a screen similar to the following when you press F10=Maintain Parameters which allows you to maintain up to 18 parameters depending upon the Launcher Type. The only difference will be the Parameter Names as these will change according to the type of  launcher selected. Simply type the parameter Value against the correct parameter Name and press Enter or press F12 to return without making any changes. You may leave entries blank if required. If you require an explanation of what to enter in any of the parameter values then you can press F11= Display Parameter Description. Press F11 again to return to entering the parameter values.
