Customizing the Options job property page

The Options tab contains information that is fully controlled by specifications in the options control settings. The control sections are located in the Notes section of the job.

A sample Options tab might look like the below:

Up to 10 fields can be displayed on this form. The items that are controlled are: 1) the icon at the top; 2) The descriptive text at the top; 3) the fields that are displayed and; 4) the summary description at the bottom.

The matching control settings are:

! define the title text at the top of the Option page

options_title = "FTP - Retrieve a file from a remote node"

! define the informational text at the bottom of the Option page

options_description = "This job will connect to the specified "

options_description1 = "remote node and use FTP "

options_description2 = "to retrieve the specified file. "

options_description3 = "The username and password are "

options_description4 = "only required if the remote server needs them."

! define what values and descriptions to use

options_question1 = "Description", sc_comment

options_question2 = "From FTP server", sc_parameter_3

options_question3 = " Username", sc_parameter_4

options_question4 = " Password", sc_parameter_5

options_question5 = " Remote file(s)", sc_parameter_6

options_question6 = " Mode (ASCII/BIN)", sc_parameter_2

options_question7 = "To local folder", sc_parameter_1

Each options_questionsN specifies 2 values. 1) the text description to display to the left of the input field. 2) The name of job data field to get/put the value into.

The possible field names are:

¹ These fields are read only
