Progress OpenEdge simple utility with input parameter

I have a .p file and I run it in unix console. and i love it . because it just a simple utility to run. It is simple and helps me learn.

Now I started to get more fancy. I am wondering if I can do an input parameter to a .p file?

this is how I usually run my .p file. enter image description here

Now if test.p needs 2 parameter .. how do I do it in the .p? and how do I run it in the console?

This is what I have in the test.p and dOrd and dLocation is the input parameter I want. 

output to /usr2/appsrv/test/test.txt. 
def var dOrd like Ord.Ord.
def var dLocation like Ord.Ord.
find OrdCSRef no-lock where OrdCSRef.Ord = dOrd and OrdCSRef.Loc = dLocation no-error.
if available OrdCSRef then do:
  put unformatted OrdCSRef.CSOrdRef skip.
end.
else
  put unformatted "Create CSOrdRef" skip.
end.
output close.

I have tried the following syntax in the unix console. but obviously it will not work.

INPUT parameters is what you are looking for. Change test.p as follows and then run it as "RUN /usr2/appsrv/test/test.p ("ARG1", "ARG2")"

output to /usr2/appsrv/test/test.txt. 
def input parameter dOrd like Ord.Ord.
def input parameter dLocation like Ord.Ord.
find OrdCSRef no-lock where OrdCSRef.Ord = dOrd and OrdCSRef.Loc = dLocation no-error.
if available OrdCSRef then do:
  put unformatted OrdCSRef.CSOrdRef skip.
end.
else
  put unformatted "Create CSOrdRef" skip.
end.
output close.
