ARGS Statement—Pass Additional Parameters for the PeopleSoft Report (PeopleSoft Jobs)

The ARGS statement specifies additional parameters to pass to a PeopleSoft report.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the PeopleSoft job type.

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

ARGS argument ...

argument

Specifies additional argument values to pass to the PeopleSoft report.

Limits: Up to 4078 characters; case-sensitive

Note: You can pass multiple strings as a single argument by enclosing them in double quotes: “parm1 parm2”

Notes:

• The entire value can be up to 4078 characters.
• Specify multiple arguments by separating them with blank spaces.
• To pass an argument with delimiters (such as spaces and semicolons), enclose the argument in double quotes.
• When you pass multiple arguments, you can use continuation characters such as the hyphen (-).
• If you specify more than one ARGS statement, the second ARGS statement within the job definition overrides the first, with the exception of a blank character string, which is ignored.

Example: Ignore Parameters in the PS_PRCSDEFN Table and Pass Additional Parameters to the nVision Report

In this example, the job parameters are not updated with data in the PS_PRCSDEFN table. The ARGS statement passes additional parameters to the nVision report.
