Reports & batch jobs for DC1 Time

Pre-entered parameters in the Batch job table are the default values for the corresponding batch job start panel, but will also be used directly when submitted via the job group definition.

When defining default parameters into the Batch job table the following must be considered:

• The values must be left adjusted, i.e. enter the values from the first position of the parameter field.
• Parameters requiring a numeric value must always be entered using the full length, in other words entered with leading zeroes (e.g., employee number length is 10 characters and therefore number 315 must be expressed as 0000000315).
• Alphanumeric code values must be entered as uppercase (e.g., code value for YES should be Y not y).
• The values for the field codes must correspond to the values stored in the Database file. Code values are generally translatable which means that the value shown is not the same that is actually stored in the file (e.g. the visible values for codes YES and NO could be set up as J and N for the user’s language but the definition (defaults) for the batch job must always be defined with Y (yes) and N (no).

The parameters relevant for this job are marked with length, type and description in the list below:
