<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi again guys...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is there a way to set a system variable from within UNIX, but not using setsystemval(), but by actually calling Unix commands directly from QUIZ?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">i.e. QUIZ</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">></FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">>!setenv VAR1 "test"</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Yes I know this can be done and it works, but the variable is not kept once QUIZ returns back from the shell. So when I use getsystemval(), it cannot find it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The reason I need to do this outside of setsystemval, is that I have created a txt file that has dynamic data in a single line...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">i.e. "123456, 344545, 456566, 465344," <--- this is the single line text file</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What I want is to be able to use this text file as part of a heading into my QUIZ report in another pass. How is it possible to DEFINE a variable in QUIZ to say "... give me the contents of a text file"?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks</FONT>
