[-production [prompt|silent| Start the application in production mode. Thebackground]] prompt and silent keywords specify whether to

display the dialog that prompts for runtimevalues if they are specified in the job. Theprompt keyword is the default and shows the

dialog. The silent keyword suppresses thedialog. The background keyword runs theproduction job in the background on a server.When using this option, you must specify aserver with the -server switch. Like the silentkeyword, the background keyword suppresses thedialog that prompts for runtime values.

The -switchserver and -singleseat switches areignored when using -production.Examples:

stats C:\job.spj -production silent -symbol @sex male

[-symbol ] List of macro symbol-value pairs used in theproduction job. Each symbol name starts with @.Enclose a value with double quotes if itcontains spaces. Rules for including quotes orapostrophes in string literals may vary acrossoperating systems, but enclosing a string thatincludes single quotes or apostrophes in doublequotes usually works (for example, "'a quotedvalue'").Example:-symbol @sex male @state "North Dakota"

[] ... List of filenames, which can include allapplication supported file types. Enclose withdouble quotes if it contains spaces.Example:stats C:\cars.sav C:\analysis.sps

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 bya switch qualifier or a valid argument, it is treated as a filename.
