In this case, you want to create a variable named ParameterNum in the document. After you execute "C:\qvDirectory\qv.exe" /r /vParameterNum=1 "C:\FeedMeParameter.qvw" you can expect the value of the variable update to 1.</P><P>Regards</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:07:00 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Passing-a-command-line-variable/m-p/216388#M69705 2010-01-19T16:07:00Z Passing a command line variable? https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Passing-a-command-line-variable/m-p/216389#M69706 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><DIV style="clear:both;"></DIV><DIV class="ForumPostBody"><P>Hi Rich, you have to create the variable in the document before passing a value using the command line.
