GROUP=	Job selection by groups (such as "xxx"). Format: script literal or AE name Default value: ""
USER=	Job selection by users (such as "xxx"). Format: script literal or AE name Default value: ""

ERROR=	Action if one of the selected jobs ends abnormally. Format: script literal Allowed values: ABEND (default value) and IGNORE ABEND - Script execution stops, the AE job ends abnormally. IGNORE - Script execution continues, the AE job ends normally.
SELECT=	Single or permanent selection. Format: script literal Allowed values: ONCE (default value) and EVERY ONCE - The number of selected jobs is retrieved once. EVERY - The number of selected jobs is retrieved after each job release. Released jobs can so be paralleled.
START=	Select whether the original job or a duplicate should start. Format: script literal Allowed values: "ORIGINAL" (default value) and "DUPLICATE"
NEW_NAME=	Name of the job that should start as a duplicate. Format: script literal Only used when START=DUPLICATE has been specified. This parameter is ignored if the original job should be started.
START_D[ATE]=	Start date of the selected scheduled jobs. Format: script literal Date format: YYYYMMDD Default value: "20000101" All scheduled jobs will be selected and start commencing as of the specified start date if this parameter is used without the parameter END_DATE.
START_T[IME]=	End time of the selected scheduled jobs. Format: script literal Time format: HHMMSS Default value: "000000" If this parameter is used without the parameter END_TIME, all scheduled jobs will be selected and started commencing as of the specified start time. 11:59pm is the end time.

END_LOGLINES=	Number of lines that should be written to the AE job report (starting with the SAP job log's ending). By default, the complete job log is used if neither the parameter END_LOGLINES nor BEG_LOGLINES have been specified. If only one of these two parameters is specified, the corresponding job-log lines (either from the beginning or the end) are read. No job log is transferred if the value "0" has been specified in both parameters. In both parameters, you can only use numeric values.
GET_SPOOL=	Requests the spool list of the started job. Format of the value: script literal Allowed values: YES or NO (default) YES = The spool list is requested. It is stored as a text file in the directory that has been defined in the SAP agent's INI file with the parameter Download_dir= (Sektion [GLOBAL]). The name of this file is structured as follows: <SAP job count>_<step number>_<spool number>.txt This file is also registered as job output in the AE job. NO = The spool list is not requested.

Examples
