System variables from within QUIZ

[Robert Mills]

Fernando,
 
If this extra data you require is in a file then why not add a 'LINK TO
RECORD 0 OF <record name>' to your ACCESS statement?
 
For this to work you would need to have a direct file declared in your
dictionary with a single item of suitable length.
 

regards,

Subject: System variables from within QUIZ



Hi again guys... 

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?

i.e.    QUIZ 
        > 
        >!setenv VAR1 "test" 

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.

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...

i.e.    "123456, 344545, 456566, 465344,"       <--- this is the single
line text file 

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"?

Thanks
