should the parameters be - 1 acct - not 1 act

dsravan · #3 (**permalink**) 02-28-2008

When I run it, I'm getting the variables set without any issues.

I put at bottom of script, and it looks to be working as expected.

Code:

print $NUM_OF_MKTS $subj
print $RUNDTFILE $TBLNAME

curious why you're setting "export subj=$2" and then not using it??
you could change your if statement to "if [ $subj = 'sub' ]"
