System variables from within QUIZ

[fernando.olmos at hpa.com.au]

Oh and the result is a 1251 character long string, with the contents of
the portable subfile right justified. You then would have to left
justify it in QUIZ to get the line you need. OR you can do it within the
AWK command using sprintf() perhaps?
 
Thanks

!cat ./mipss156t2b.ps | awk '{printf("%1251s\n", $0)}' >
./mlink_file.dat

The mipss156t2b.ps is the data portion of the portable subfile and the
mlink_file.dat is the file referenced by the dictionary record
reference. The '$0' is saying, what ever comes out of that CAT command,
use it as a parameter into the printf() function, via the AWK command.
