QTP stdin redirection within jobstream

[Penney, John]

Listers:

I'm trying to do something (in my way of thinking) simple: build a Msg file
and use it to pass date, and string of customer numbers parms to an
interactive type QTP  routine. Works fine in interactive mode but in
Jobstream, prompts for the date and then quits process 'no records will be
selected' at the Choose statement. Powerhouse 8.19C2, MPE/iX 7.5,
Image/3000, ...
syntax: qtp auto=xxx.yyy < parmfil

parmfil is a std MPE 8FB Msg file...

I've tried stdin=parmfil but the obscure syntax escapes me.

Why does it work OK in interactive but fail in Job, eh? Thanks!
