Hi all:
I have several Oracle .RPT programs I have written that prompt the user to enter a value (such as period end date).
This works fine for interactive use, but I also need to be able to run these reports in BATCH mode. For each report, I have a .COM file that gets the appropriate values from the user, and then submits the report to a BATCH queue. Trouble is, I really have no idea how to pass the parameter so that it will be accepted by the .RPT report as a user-entered value?
Any information you can provide would be most appreciated. Please respond via e-mail if at all possible.
Thanks in advance!
