Quiz Question

[Peter Bateman]

       Hi Guy:
 
          I had the same problem a while back.
 
          I piped stdout into the sed program where I removed the offending lines.
 
          Not a pretty solution but it got the job done. The following sed command deletes 
          the first line from stdout.
 
          quiz | sed -e '1,1d'
        Regards,
        Peter Bateman

Powerhouse 7.33.D3, Hp-Ux 10.20, Quiz. 
We have an report that uses an environment variable and a CHOOSE in Quiz, where we want to SUPPRESS the automatic echoing of the value of the environment variable being used for the choose.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to do it: we are the point of desperation, we have actually stooped to reading the manuals!
Here's an example: 

/hbms/payroldv/source> quiz NOLIST 
Environment variable used for CHOOSE : 50222. 
/hbms/payroldv/source> quiz NOLIST > /dev/null Environment variable used for CHOOSE : 50222. 
So, what we're trying to do is suppress the line "Environment …". 
Any wise ideas?
