I don't know what your job does, but it makes more sense to me to incorporate the task into the stored procedure. However, you can use sp_start_job to start the job and use the isql.exe to run it from the command line.

You could use sp_add_step & sp_update_jobstep to create/recreate the step and pass the value at that time. Again, if you incorporate the job task into your stored procedure, you won't have to worry about that.
