Question List variables in .txt files

When is a list variable read from a .txt file?
* when the task starts?
* when it executes the ( Start Loop "List Variable ..." )?

I have an application that is going to pass me a BAT file with
the variables that I need for managing it. I plan to use AA to:
  • detect the BAT file
  • copy the BAT file, which could vary from day to day, to a standard
    C:\Wrappers\JobFiles\CobolName.txt file
  • get the variable(s) (one or more)
  • then start the BAT file by opening it

Does that sound like it will work?
