PROGARGS Statement—Define Argument Values to Pass to a Request Set Program

The PROGARGS statement defines the argument values to pass to an Oracle Applications request set program.

Supported Job Type

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

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

PROGARGS argument[,argument...]

argument

Defines each argument value to pass to an Oracle Applications request set program. In Oracle Applications, arguments are part of the program definition and are found in the Concurrent Program Parameters dialog.

Notes:

• Do not add a space after a comma, unless the argument value starts with a space.
• To use a default value defined in Oracle Applications, enter one comma in the argument position and specify Y in the ARGDEFAULTS statement. Do not add spaces between commas.
• The entire value can be up to 4070 characters. If your list of arguments is over the total maximum of 4070 characters, split it into multiple PROGARGS statements. These multiple statements will be concatenated using commas.
• You can specify up to 100 PROGARGS statements per request set program.
• PROGARGS applies to a single program in a request set.
• Place PROGARGS after a PROGDATA statement.

Example: Pass Argument Values to Request Set Programs

In this example, ARGDEFAULTS is set to Y. The first PROGARGS statement passes a value for the second argument, and the agent passes defaults for all others. The second PROGARGS statement passes values for the first, third, and fifth arguments, and the agent passes defaults for all others.

Example: Pass Date Arguments to a Request Set Program

In this example, five arguments are passed to the first program in the request set. For readability, the arguments are put into three PROGARGS statements, which will be concatenated using commas.
