Command Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The Command property specifies the task of a job step.
Syntax
object
.Command [=value]
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
- value
A string
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetCommand(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetCommand(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note
SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
Remarks
The Command property specifies the execution string for an instance of SQL Server Agent. Failure or success of execution determines failure or success of the job step.
The text specified by the Command property is run by SQL Server Agent using the executable subsystem indicated by the JobStep object SubSystem property. Job step subsystem selection determines valid syntax for Command property text.
