Long variable issue

Ernie,
This just doesn't even come close to answering my question. Why is the
declared value not able to accept the value of getenv()?
If:
Then: declare uname
If" uname= ""
Then: uname=getenv("username") - in this instance uname should have rkreiss
as value.
The declare is located with all the other declared long variable just before
the last line of the processing table.
I really can't sent Fp Tech the files as the contain information that has to
remain private. Will PF Tech be willing to sign a confidentiality agreement
with GCC Consulting and CCP with regard to this information. I would need
to send you their complete database as all of the files would be accessed
and tht is the only way the program can be tested. Also, I would have to
zip the database and it would be too large to upload. I would have to use
some other means to upload the zip file.
