Parameter Second Pass Processing

A preprocessing directive may be placed in a parameter which can then be referenced by a command, notify or notes list. When the job runs, the parameter is resolved and it's result is then resolved where the preprocessor directive is in the job.

Example: The following preprocessor directive containing a variable named account is place in the first parameter slot.



The first parameter p1 is referenced in the Job commands

year_end_report ((p1))

When the job's processed commands are previewed, it shows the contents of the variable "account" which is "z19080".

year_end_report z19080

The first pass evaluates the commands and the second pass resolves the preprocessor directive in the parameter.
