Help how replace stardard keyboard inputs by arguments at run time of a script

Hello Everybody,
Please help.

I was trying to automate the use of a third-party given shell script. The script is written to be used at run-time to collect a few variables to be provided by the user through key board, in the fashion as below:

./runcommand

please provide a file name to dump the output:
then user type in the file name
please provide the user name:
then user type in the user name
please provide password
then user type in the password
please provide role:
then the uese type in the answer to the role

I want to run this command automatically without the user interactive input as I know in advance my answers to those questions.
Ideally like:
./runcommand file_name user_name user_password user_role
or something similar that the command does not wait for the user's interaction.
How can I do that?

Thanks in advance
