stats [-server <inet:hostname:port>] [-user <name>] [-password <password>] [-switchserver] [-singleseat] [-nologo] [-production [prompt|silent|background]] [-symbol <values>] [<filename>]

... To start the application in distributed mode: [-server <inet:hostname:port>] The name or IP address and port number of the server. Example: -server myserver:3016 [-user <name>] A valid user name. If a domain name is required, precede the user name with the domain name and a backslash (\). Example: -user "myDomain\myUserName" The user's password.

[-password <password>]

To start the application and prompt for server login information (Windows only): [-switchserver] Display the "Server Login" dialog box. This switch has precedence over the previous -server, -user, and -password switches.

To start the application in single seat mode: [-singleseat] [-background] Start application in a single seat mode. Run the production job dsconnected in the background on a remote server. You must also specify the server using the -server switch.

If none of the previous switches is specified, the application starts in the default mode. Other switches: [-nologo] [-production [prompt|silent| background]] Start the application without displaying the splash screen. Start the application in production mode. The prompt and silent keywords specify whether to display the dialog that prompts for runtime values if they are specified in the job. The prompt keyword is the default and shows the dialog. The silent keyword suppresses the dialog. The background keyword runs the production job in the background on a server. When using this option, you must specify a server with the -server switch. Like the silent keyword, the background keyword suppresses the dialog that prompts for runtime values. If you use the silent or background keywords, you can define the runtime symbols with the -symbol switch. Otherwise, the default value is used.

The -switchserver and -singleseat switches are ignored when using -production. Examples: stats C:\job.spj -production silent -symbol @sex male [-symbol <values>] List of macro symbol-value pairs used in the production job. Each symbol name starts with @. Enclose a value with double quotes if it contains spaces. Rules for including quotes or apostrophes in string literals may vary across operating systems, but enclosing a string that includes single quotes or apostrophes in double quotes usually works (for example, "'a quoted value'"). Example: -symbol @sex male @state "North Dakota" List of filenames, which can include all application supported file types. Enclose with double quotes if it contains spaces. Example: stats C:\cars.sav C:\analysis.sps

[<filename>] ...

Valid switch qualifiers are a hyphen (-) or double hyphen (--). You can also use a forward slash (/) on Windows platforms. If a parameter is not preceded by a switch qualifier or a valid argument, it is treated as a filename.
