This just doesn't even come close to answering my question. Why is the
declared value not able to accept the value of getenv()?
If:
Then: declare uname
If" uname= ""
Then: uname=getenv("username") - in this instance uname should have rkreiss
as value.
The declare is located with all the other declared long variable just before
the last line of the processing table.
I really can't sent Fp Tech the files as the contain information that has to
remain private. Will PF Tech be willing to sign a confidentiality agreement
with GCC Consulting and CCP with regard to this information. I would need
to send you their complete database as all of the files would be accessed
and tht is the only way the program can be tested. Also, I would have to
zip the database and it would be too large to upload. I would have to use
some other means to upload the zip file.

Issue:
I can declare a variable but it will not hold a value trying to be

not get it to hold a value. When I pass a value using -rx and @px the

This is a process running for a system call to an output processing
table which does not hold the declared value being assigned to it..
Yes, there is an auto process table that runs with this output process
but has 7 declare global variables and 5 dummy fields and an output
processing table with 95 long variable and 31 dummy fields of which
14 have defined lengths and edits. One of those fields has a length of
1390 as it hold the information from the file being read. I can
replace getenv() everywhere I want to use uname but it would be easier
to use uname in the programming the having to type the
getenv("username") each time. I need to use the name in programming.

I declared a long variable in a called processing table.
Declare runname
In the called processing table I have:
If:
Then: runname=getenv("username")
If: getenv("username")="rkreiss"
Then: debug on (the debugger is activated)
When I evaluate runname is appears as empty ||
When I change the declare to Runname(32*) and check the value of
runname again, it the field is emp[ty but the |
| lines are 32 characters apart.
Does any one have any ideas as to why runname is not being filled
with "rkreiss".
I have asked this question of FP Tech support and so far have not
received an answer to this problem. They have asked for other
information and for mew to clarify what I wrote even though I gave
them the processing used and the issue I weas having.
I seem to recall that there is a limit as to the number of variables
one can have but it is not documented. Could I be passing this
limit as there are a lot of declared values in the original
processing table as well as the called table. The called table is
in a different
folder(directory) then the original processing. Is the total of the
variable a combination of both tables?
I may be able to eliminate some of the declared variables in the
called table as this is a copy of one that is for a different
purpose and I did not remove all of the declared values used in the
other
