Using variables and named parameters

If the Job has named parameters—as in the example that we builtR12;you provide values for them in the Parameters tab of the Job Executor step. For each named parameter, you can assign the value of a field or a fixed-static-value. In case you execute the Job for a group of rows instead of a single one, the parameters will take the values from the first row of data sent to the Job.
