Put these statements in the parse function.

Code:

export qname
export qmgr
export qalias

Put these in the start function.

Code:

echo qname
echo qmgr
echo qalias

The variables are all global, after calling the function the variables should be set.
Try this in your main function:

Code:

echo $qname
echo $qmgr 
.....
