putenv

[Mike Schwartz-PC Support & Services]

    The putenv syntax is putenv "name", "value".
    Is it possible to have the value be a dummy variable that is created in
processing prior to the putenv command.   I have tried several things but
none seem to work, ie "aa", {aa} and {"aa"}.  Using unix and filepro 5.0.

	Try: putenv "STATE",aa

	You don't need the quotes around aa.  The quotes turn the aa
literally into the letters aa, so STATE will literally be equal aa when you
read it back, and not the value contained inside aa.
