Getting Initiator's UserID for an External -v table process

[Bruce Easton]

Stanley,

The -rz switch is meant to be immediately followed by a space and then 
the argument that it will pass.  In your example, you have it followed 
by other flags.   The end of your line should simply be:

Then: system "........ -rz"<@id

or as Ken said:  "........ -rz '" & @id & "'"

Both of those should ensure that you're leaving a space before the 
argument value.  You might have been confusing his unrelated single 
quote usage with your quote usage for the "-h" argument.

Alternatively, you could also set an environment variable just before 
the system call that you can then read inside the output request processing:

Then: putenv "currid", at id
Then: system .............

Then inside report:

Then:  id=getenv("currid")
