Hi,
I have a job, inside which, I use multiple variables.
I want to use this job to launch others after a certain step and I want these to use the variables used inside the initial job. Am-I making any sense?
Basically, I'm making web pages, for 5 different sites. All pages use the same structure yet are a little different. I want the variations to use variables such as: "keyword" and others, which do get created when I launch the original job. Any better?
Thaks for your help.
Seb.

Hi Seb, If you're using the parent Job to grab values which you want to use in child jobs, all you need to do is run the child jobs from the parent job (using Run Job) and then simply grab the values from the variables the parents job produced using a %ext: prefix prior to the variable name. For example: Parent Job --> Child Job %FileContents% --> %ext:FileContents% :) Samantha
