Hey, seems that question has been posed before by a job seeker looking for hints at passing a technical interview. Funny to see it again :cry:

The question is best answered by just typing in dsjob and seeing the output. You'll have all of the operands listed that you need. Now, just read the manual for detailed explanations of the keywords.

So I went over to www.dictionary.com, typed in "operand", and chose the third definition which seemed appropriate:

<programming> An argument of an operator or of a machine
language instruction.

So if dsjob is an instruction, then the arguments to that instruction must be the operands.

Hence, I suggested typing in dsjob and hitting enter and the program would list its arguments (operands).

I decided to follow Ken's suggestion and typed in "dsjob" at the command line. Lo and behold, I got the following output:

Command Syntax:
dsjob [-file <file> <server> | [-server <server>][-user <user>][-password <password>]]
<primary command> [<arguments>]

Valid primary command options are:
-run
-stop
-lprojects
-ljobs
-linvocations
-lstages
-llinks
-projectinfo
-jobinfo
-stageinfo
-linkinfo
-lparams
-paraminfo
-log
-logsum
-logdetail
-lognewest
-report
-jobid
-import

and look into the Server Job Developer's Guide where you will find a full chapter describing the dsjob command and it's options.

... and if you type in dsjob -run by itself you will get the options for that subcommand. And so on.
