Execution Commands Reference Guide

Option Description

The WorkArea for input is created when map execution begins.

source

This is the data to be used for the input.

For example, to pass the value ABC123XYZ to a map as the data for input card #2,

type the following command:

-IE2 ABC123XYZ

If the data to be echoed contains spaces or hyphens, it must be surrounded by

single quotes as shown in the following example:

-IE2 ‘ABC 123 XYZ’

If the echoed data contains single quotes or the null character (hex 00), use the S

option to specify the number of bytes of echoed data. Changing the example

above to use to the S option, the single quotes are omitted:

-IE1S11 ABC 123 XYZ

One use for echoed input data is in conjunction with the RUN function to pass data

from one map to another. For an example of using an echoed data source as an

input argument using the RUN function, see the RUN function in the Functions and

Expressions Reference Guide. Another example of using an echoed data source is

provided in the Platform API Reference Guide.

Input Source Override – File (-IF)

Use the Input Source Override – File execution command (-IF) to override

specifications in the compiled map file for a specific input card for a single

execution of a map. Only the specified adapter settings are used to override the

settings compiled into the map.

For example, if the WorkArea option (

W or !W) is not specified, the WorkArea

setting compiled into the map is used.
