[<filename> [-filepassword <password>]] ...
To start the application in distributed mode:
[-server <inet:hostname:port>] The name or IP address and port number
of the server.
Example: -server myserver:3016
[-user <name>] A valid user name. If a domain name is required,
precede the user name with the domain name and a
backslash (\).
Example: -user "myDomain\myUserName"
[-password <password>] The user's password.
To start the application and prompt for server login information (Windows
only):
[-switchserver] Display the "Server Login" dialog box. This
switch has precedence over the previous -server,
-user, and -password switches.
To start the application in production mode:
[-production [prompt|silent]] Start the application in production mode. The
prompt and silent keywords specify whether to
display the dialog that prompts for runtime
values if they are specified in the job. The
prompt keyword is the default and shows the
dialog. The silent keyword suppresses the
dialog, in which case you can define the runtime
symbols with the -symbol switch. Otherwise, the
default value is used.
The -switchserver and -singleseat switches are
ignored when using -production.
Example:
stats C:\job.spj -production silent -symbol @sex male
To start the application in background production mode:
[-background] Run the production job disconnected in the
background on a remote server. You must include
the -production switch and must also specify
the server using the -server switch.
To start the application in single seat mode:
[-singleseat] Start application in a single seat mode.
If none of the previous switches is specified, the application starts in the
default mode.
Other switches:
[-nologo] Start the application without displaying the
splash screen.
[-symbol <values>] List of macro symbol-value pairs used in the
production job. Each symbol name starts with @.
Enclose a value with double quotes if it
contains spaces. Rules for including quotes or
apostrophes in string literals may vary across
operating systems, but enclosing a string that
includes single quotes or apostrophes in double
quotes usually works (for example, "'a quoted
value'").
Example:
-symbol @sex male @state "North Dakota"
[-unicode [on|off]] Turn Unicode mode on or off. The default is on.
When Unicode mode is off, the application runs
in code page mode, which is the current locale
encoding. In releases previous to 21, the
application started in code page mode.
[<filename> [-filepassword <password>]] ...
List of filenames, which can include all
application supported file types. Enclose with
double quotes if it contains spaces. If a file
is password protected, follow the file name
with the -filepassword switch and the password.
Examples:
stats C:\cars.sav C:\analysis.sps
stats "C:\My Files\cars.sav" -filepassword Pass1234
Valid switch qualifiers are a hyphen (-) or double hyphen (--). You can also
use a forward slash (/) on Windows platforms. If a parameter is not preceded by
a switch qualifier or a valid argument, it is treated as a filename.
