You would pass the parameter after the name of the executable:
! /n U:\questpdm\fabsum.exe "Parameter 1"
! /n U:\questpdm\fabsum.exe 123
Although the second example shows a number, the OS will pass it as text, so you have to receive it as such.
In the main program of fabsum.exe, you have to have a PARAMETERS or LPARAMETERS statement, to receive the parameters.
