Ok I admit it I am stumped and I would appreciate any and all help

Here is what I am trying to do.

Korn Shell script

I am setting a variable to another shell script that I want to invoke in my main script like so:

GETDIR=/vol100/cfg/.getdir

The .getdir shell script take a parameter, for example:

./getdir somedir

This returns a single entry.

I set another variable in the main script to the parameter
PARAM=someparameter

Now inside my main script I want to get the result of running the .getdir script with the parameter

And I am trying to do this like so

NETDIR=$(${GETDIR} ${PARAM})
echo ${NETDIR}

But it doesn't work ${NETDIR} is always empty.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Batch
