I tested the following example on SUN Solaris:

screen test menu

temp test-env char*100 initial "ls -l > test.log"

field test-env display size 40 predisplay

;procedures
procedure designer test
begin
  IF NOT SETSYSTEMVAL("test", test-env)
  THEN ERROR "Could not set environment variable"
  run command "echo $test > test.sh"
  run command "chmod +x test.sh"
  run command "test.sh"
end

Cheers

<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Well actually this is what i am trying to do is :</DIV>
<DIV><BR>DEFINE THE-COMMAND CHAR*120 = "ls -lt A.old* | awk '{ if (NR==2) print $9}'"</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>IF NOT SETSYSTEMVAL("ABC",("RUN" + THE-COMMAND ))</DIV>
<DIV>THEN</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp; ERROR</DIV>
<DIV>END</DIV>
<DIV>RUN COMMAND "echo $ABC &gt; temp.log"</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Ans the variable is not being set</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Is it possible that when RUN is used it performs the same on another shell and that is why the variable is not being set .</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>
