External command
Specifies a command string that launches a command on each individual file within
the ZIP file. The command is executed for each AFP file in the ZIP file before it
is combined into a single AFP file.
Format:
- Length
- 1-3072 characters (bytes); special characters are permitted
- Restrictions
- Case-sensitive
- Database name
- Job.AfpZip.ExternalCommand
Usage notes:
- The program you provide must always expect the AFP file as the last argument. For
example, to pass the job number to the program named myscript , enter
/aiw/aiw1/bin/myscript ${Job.ID}for the External command property. When the step executes for job 10000045, the command is resolved to/aiw/aiw1/bin/myscript 10000045/aiw/aiw1/spool/default/10000045/eachAFPfileinthezip.afp - External command is a positional job property. For information about using positional job properties, refer to the Information Center.
