Re: Passing data structure to batch job

Sure. You can even uniquely name them and keep them hanging around from day to day. (It could keep "last invoice number used" for instance.)

I'm not following this interesting thread! The LDA of the second job cannot

That was my first thought as well. An alternative would be to pass the

The LDA approach strikes me as a little easier.

There could be issues passing a large parameter to a program ...
especially if it's going to be submitted.

Using the LDA is the safest approach, I think.
