System variables from within QUIZ

[fernando.olmos at hpa.com.au]

True. However, I am trying to use the "power" of Unix to keep the system
variable alive to the parent session (ie: QUIZ), so like someone else
suggested, link it back in via a subfile record 0 link. In other words I
am trying to avoid splitting the report program into a separate process
just to pass "down" a system variable. If I can keep this all working in
one single QUIZ program, then that would be ideal. Obviously the only
way to achieve this is to create the single line text file using QTP and
passing it along with other subfiles, to a QUIZ to generate the report.
I don't think I have any choice. We don't have a flat file record
structure in the dictionary, which would have solved it all for me
frankly... but that's something I may have to create and be done with
it.

There is nothing to stop you picking up the variable via getsystemval in
a second quiz so long as it is called in the same quiz session,
