Reference Commands › pdm_task--Set Environment Variables

pdm_task--Set Environment Variables

Applies to UNIX only

The pdm_task utility sets environment variables for commands that do not have wrappers. For example, the pdm_task command must precede the report command on the same command line only when the command is invoked through a script or the command line. If you issue the report command from a menu, you do not need to include pdm_task, because all environment variables are set by the application.

Note: Reports cannot be generated from the command line on a client.

Syntax

This command has the following format:

pdm_task command

command

Specifies a command that does not have a wrapper and, therefore, does not automatically set environment variables. See report--Generate Reports for more information about issuing pdm_task with a command.
