SETSYSTEMVAL

[Rohde, Dirk]

You actually need to create the file "b" ("AA" + staff-id), which you do
not appear to be doing. The simplest way to do this for a sequential
file is with the Unix "touch" command, which will create the file if it
doesn't exist. If this is an indexed file, you can use qutil to create
the file.

Powerhouse 8.43.D1 / HP-UX

Hello there,

I'm trying to set the system variable for the subscreen to identify
which file 
it should use.

eg:
in PHD
File AA Open $AA

In quick - 1st screen
LET b = "AA" + staff-id
if not setsystemval(AA,b)
 then error "cannot set work file")
run screen subscreen

in quick subscreen
some processing
PUT AA

I got the following error
Data access error. (AA*01)
No such file or directory (ERRNO 2)

I also tried to combined the command in a single screen, i.e. set the
variable 
and PUT in the same procedure to no avail.

Please help.

Thanks & regards.
Ghani.
