axiant question

[Steve Franklin]

thank you very much for the help.  The code I am converting has lots of
variables in it.

Hi Steve,

to access VAR variable content from within PH you would use $VAR as in the
example below,

Quiz,
acc *       $VAR\sfs\rep4asf
set subfil name $VAR\sfs\rep4asf   keep




you would use %VAR% at the OS level as in the .bat file example below

U:\>type khalils.bat
rem  set myquizexe="D:\Program Files\Cognos\Axiant 4GL 3.0\quiz32.exe"
rem  %myquizexe% auto=d:\orddets.qzs dict=d:\applicat.pdc

set mypdlexe="C:\Program Files\Axiant 4GL 2.02\pdl32.exe"
%mypdlexe% auto=u:\applicat.pdl
set myquizexe="C:\Program Files\Axiant 4GL 2.02\quiz32.exe"
set myquiz="d:\orddets.qzs"
set mydict="d:\applicat.pdc"
%myquizexe% auto=%myquiz% dict=%mydict%
PAUSE
rem  exit

On Unix, you can setup environment variables using the export command.
(export VAR="/u/home").  The resulting variable can then be used in a
subfile statement within either Quiz or QTP.  How do you accomplish the
equivalent within Axiant.  I know I can use the SET statement at a DOS
prompt (set VAR=/u/home), but I don't know how to then reference the
variable named VAR.  I tried %VAR% and it did not work.

Thanks for the help.
