Using *SYSTEMVAL

[Armstrong, Mike]

Are you sure the logical is not being created at the LNM$PROCESS level.
In which case you may never see it. Try using a LNM$JOB level logical
since this is visible from all processes in the current session (i.e.
Parent and Child processes).

Cheers!

	(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?
