[resolved] Send a Runtime Variable Value to Talend

Does anyone know how Talend running in the TAC (6.2) can accept a runtime variable?
I'm looking for something where I can, on the fly, change the value of the variable and re-run a job in the TAC.
In our use case, we want to run the same job in the TAC but change the file name whenever we need to.
Any ideas? 
I don't think that context variables can do it. Maybe JVM Parameters?

Thank you Sabrina. 
I figured out that I could pass a run time variable to the job on the TAC if I left the quotes out.
So, in the Job Conductor in the TAC, down in the "context parameters" box, I left the quotes off of the variable I was sending and it worked.
It is a little confusing because the Original value field shows the value in quotes, but you have to know that, in the custom value field, you need to not use quotes.
Thanks!

Hi,
Have you tried to use implicit tcontextload or tcontextload  to achieve your goal?
You can define your context parameter in a coming flow(a text file) and load the context parameters from this text file into your job.
Please take a look at this component reference about:TalendHelpCenter:tContextLoad with scenario.
Best regards
Sabrina
