Add/Edit Runtime Parameter

The Add Runtime Parameter and Edit Runtime Parameter dialogs let you set Job Creation runtime parameters (see Runtime Parameter Options).

The options available in this dialog are:

• Parameter: The chosen name for the runtime parameter.

• Type: The parameter field type. Select from the following:

• String - an alphanumeric string.

• Number - a numeric value. Either a whole integer or decimal value.

• Date - a date value in ISO 8601 format.
  Whilst these can be entered manually, it is better to select the date using the date selection option.
  If entering manually, you must enter the date using the current Windows Locale date settings options;
  i.e. mm/dd/yyyy for the US; dd/mm/yyyy for Australia.
  
  It is safest to use the date selection button option, however.
  

• Boolean: a Boolean true/false value. This has to be entered into the field as either "true" or "false" exactly, with all characters being lowercase.

• Default Value: an optional default value for this runtime parameter.
  For Boolean parameters, the default values must be left empty, or entered as either "true" or "false". No other option exists. When the comparison actually occurs, it will be a full Boolean comparison. Thus it can compare this runtime parameter with Boolean data values that are stored as 0/1 in data fields.
