PROGDATA Statement—Identify an Oracle Applications Program

The PROGDATA statement identifies a program in an Oracle Applications request set by order number. Use the PROGDATA statement to identify programs for the purpose of changing pre-set statement values.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the Oracle E-Business Suite Request Set job type.

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

PROGDATA [program_number]

program_number

(Optional) Specifies the order number of a program in an Oracle Applications request set. The program_number value is a fullword integer and as such the

maximum is 2**32 - 1 (2**32-1 means 2 power 32 minus 1, that is, 2 multiplied 32 times minus 1). The actual maximum number is 4294967295.

Limits: Integer

Note: If no number is specified, the first program is treated as number one, and subsequent programs are treated as having the previous program number plus one.

Notes:

• To specify data for multiple programs in a request set, define a separate PROGDATA statement for each program.
• You can use the following program-specific statements after a PROGDATA statement:
  • PROGARGS
  • PROGNOTIFYDUSERS
  • PROGNOTIFYUSERS
  • PROGOUTPUTFORMAT
  • PROGPRINTCOPIES
  • PROGPRINTER
  • PROGPRINTSTYLE
  • PROGQUOTEDEFAULT
  • PROGSAVEOUTPUT
  • PROGTEMPLATELANG
  • PROGTEMPLATETERR
• The program-specific statements cannot be used unless preceded by a PROGDATA statement.
• PROGRAMDATA is an alias of PROGDATA.

Example: Override Default Number of Print Copies in Certain Programs

In the following job definition, the PRINTCOPIES statement sets the default number of copies to be printed for all programs to one copy. The first PROGPRINTCOPIES statement overrides this default number of copies for program 1 to five copies. Similarly, the number of copies for program 2 is set to seven copies and the number of copies for program 4 is set to two copies.

The third program is not defined in this example, so the default number of copies (one) is used.
