Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Can anybody help me with the command line parameters for the PRMBATCH.EXE ?

I’ve used them many times in the past and now that I want to automate something again, I can’t find them anymore.

Could anyone please post them here?

Sorry Moderators,

You can see how I, by accident, found this. I did not have the time to find a email addy from a moderator to report this.

Good to see it’s solved, otherwise I would have taken the time to tell you about it :D

Finally found it.
Finally got my hands on the P3 3.1 CD, but nothing about this was on there. Then I spotted the P3 2.0b cd and there it was :D

To, maybe, help others that might be lookign for this later, the commandline parameters for PRMBATCH are:

< PROGLOC directory >PRMBATCH REPORTS < input filename > 0 0 /EXTENSION=P3

I know that, but thanks.

I realy need the COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS.

I need to schedule a job that runs everyday at 7:00am.
I have the batch script all in place, now I just need to know how to call the PRMBATCH.EXE with the correct parameters. There should be parameters for selection of the PROJ location, the BATCH FILE location, P3 or FH, REPORT or GRAPHIC and some more stuff.

Anybody?

1. Create a batch file in your project directory, that contains information you want.

2.To run the batch program, choose File, Run from Windows Program Manager and enter the following in the Command Line:
C: P3WIN P3PROGS PRMBATCH.EXE

3. Confirm the batch file directory, C:P3WINPROJECTS, and enter the batch file name, then click Run.

Here are two PRMBATCH Commandline parameters which I often used when I create a acvity codes dictionary.

-CDEF is the record required to define the type of code field (activity code or activity ID), the location of the field in the activity ID or code string, and the name and description of the field. Each CDEF record defines a single code field.

-COTL is the record used to define title code values.

Yes, there should be a file called Batch.wri on the CD. Unfortunately I have no access to the CD, nor to the knowledgebase of P3. :(
