Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Problem with script not able to take parameters passed to it Post 302171517 by denn on Thursday 28th of February 2008 04:09:29 PM

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' ]"
