Using *SYSTEMVAL

[Rich `Lego-Man' Jesse - 7633]

(trying *both* lists!)

O.K., I give up.  I've searched the manuals, Cognos' web site, tutorials, etc.
There is no where I can find that states how the hell SETSYSTEMVAL and it's
cousins GETSYSTEMVAL and DELETESYSTEMVAL are used in 7.10 QTP on OVMS 6.2.  I
tried using them with the QUICK syntax, but I'm sure you know where that went. 
I then tried using them within a DEFINE statement, like I finally figured out
how to do in QUIZ (and the way the manuals *eluded* to), but the statement is
apparently never executed?  Very short QTP example:

	ACCESS MY_TABLE
	DEFINE DUMMY_VALUE CHAR*1 = " " IF SETSYSTEMVAL("DCL_LOGNAME", "VALUE")
	GO

The logical DCL_LOGNAME is never created in any logical table.  I also 
verified that a symbol is also not created, despite the manual stating that
logical creation is the default.

Anyone???  And if anyone knows, can you also relay where you found this out?

TYVMIA,
