You can let Export prompt you for parameters by entering the EXP
command followed by your username/password:

Or, you can control how Export runs by entering the EXP command followed
by various arguments. To specify parameters, you use keywords:
     Format:  EXP KEYWORD=value or KEYWORD=(value1,value2,...,valueN)
     Example: EXP SCOTT/TIGER GRANTS=Y TABLES=(EMP,DEPT,MGR)

USERID must be the first parameter on the command line.
