The following command line parameters can be used with the Dynamic Batch Scheduling feature in Jet Reports.

| /I | Specifies the input directory or a particular report. |
| /O | Specifies the output directory where the report(s) will be saved or a path to the output report. |
| /D | Turns on DEBUG mode. You can specify a text file where the debug information will be saved. When AutoPilot runs, Excel will open visibly and errors and status will be stored in the text file. |
| /L | Creates a log file just like /D except without opening Excel visibly. If no log file is specified, a text file will be created in My Documents with the data in the filename |
| /ELN |
Enables the ability to send an email notification indicating an error has occurred with a report. (i.e. /ELN "TRUE") - Requires /EL |
| /EL |

| /S | Emails the reports via SMTP. SMTP settings must be configured in the Jet Application Settings. Requires /E |

| /N | Prompts a "notification" style email to be sent when using /E. In a "notification" email, the completed report will NOT be attached. If using /N, it is recommended that you also use the /B and /U parameters. Requires /E. |
| /R | Removes all hidden workbook elements (rows, columns, and sheets) when used with VALUES or SIMPLEWEB modes. |

Please note the following rules when building a command line:
· The first command line item should be the path to the “AutoPilot.exe” file.
· There must be a space both before and after each command line item.
· Enclose all command line values (not the parameters) in quotes.
· The /P parameter must be last
· Place the entire command line in a named range
Example command line:
