    I have created a custom job class by following this blog.  Is it possible to pass values as parameters into the code or is there another approach to providing data?

      IMHO no.

      I don't know your use case, but what I did once in a custom module was to use a module setting to automatically delete records after a given number of days/months/years. The scheduled tasks reads the value (per module) from the module settings table, and then deletes the records. If no value is set, it uses a default value.

      Happy DNNing!

        The scheduler runs out of context, so you'll need to have a way to lookup or otherwise determine any values you might be looking for. As Michael mentioned, one of many ways to do that is through a module setting, but there are SO many ways to do this (e.g., flat files, XML, host/portal/module settings, etc.).

        A lot of the time, a specific condition simply exists, so checking that via code can lead you to the correct path you might be looking for.

        Maybe a high-level description of your planned schedule job might help us help you better?
