# Apply a custom argument as range parameter to an export

You can apply customized arguments as range parameters to a data export from D365 F&SCM.

### **Custom code**

To create a range parameter as an argument, you must add the desired method along with its argument to the BisDialogBase class. The method must be defined as follows: dialogBase.setFieldValue('[argument]', [code to define the argument value]).

### **Document**

You can use the argument as a range parameter for the source document if it is a D365 F&SCM document. To do this, add a range of type **Parameter** to the relevant document record, typically the root record. In the **Range** field, input the exact name of the argument. Ensure that each argument used in a document is unique to that document.

### **Example**

Suppose you want to add the following parameters to the document record range:

- company: This is used to get and set the current company.
- origCompanyId: This is used to get and set the original company.

The BisDialogBase class contains the following code:

```plaintext
dialogBase = new BisDialogBase();
dialogBase.setFieldValue('company', companyRule.Company);
dialogBase.setFieldValue('origCompanyId', companyRule.getOriginalCompany().CompanyId);
mArgs.packedBisDialogBase(dialogBase.pack());
```

Add the parameters to the document record range:
