Concurrent Program Parameters

Parameters, also referred to as arguments, are assigned to standard submission concurrent programs. To define a program as standard submission, set the value of the Standard Submission field in the Concurrent Programs form to Yes.

Attention: All the mechanisms for parameter defaulting (including references to values of other parameters, user profiles, etc.) are evaluated only at submission time.

There are two aspects to a parameter associated with a concurrent program: its value set and its behavior.

Parameter value set The valid values the parameter can accept. The set of valid values is referred to as a value set.

Parameter behavior How the parameter behaves within an application. For example, whether:

- an entry value for the parameter is required in order for the program to work

- the parameter is displayed to the end user

- a default value is automatically provided for the parameter

If you wish to define or modify a value set, you must first carefully plan your value set's purpose and implementation.

Using the Concurrent Programs form, you can see a concurrent program's parameters by choosing Parameters. Each parameter has a value set that defines what values are permissible for the parameter. To see the name of a parameter's value set, look at the Value Set field in the Argument Details block.
