Purpose

To allow the creation and maintenance of System Parameters that will be used to define parameters that can be used within the Staff Connect Parameter Interface application

SubSystem

Job Control & Scheduling

This function enables the creation and maintenance of the System Parameters used to define the parameters used within the Staff Connect Parameter Interface application. Standard attributes of the parameter can be defined such as its type, for example text field, checkbox, select list or a look up using the parameter lists identified in function Search Capabilities.

A field to enable a dynamic SQL query or a static list is provided along with a default value field and a mandatory indicator. Ability to override the system definition will be provided by the function Maintain Job Parameters (JBSF4190)

This form acts as a query-only “find form” when called from JBSF4190 – Maintain Job Parameters.
