Using the command line

Promodag Reports can be used in DOS command mode to run a batch file (PRB). The following text explains how tasks can be run in CLI mode.

Syntax

REPEX /BatchFile=<batch file.prb>

REPEX: Path to the Repex.exe file. The default path is: C:\Program Files\Promodag\Reports14\Repex.exe.

<batch file.prb>: name of the batch file to run. You do not need to enter the full path.

Note: if you type REPEX without any argument, the program starts in GUI mode. A trace file is created when you use this command.

A return code displays in the Windows Task Scheduler. It can help troubleshoot batch configuration issues. Return codes can also be used in *.bat files.
