how to assign the output of the interective script to the variable
Hi,
I work in ksh88.
I have an interective script which prompts the user for the input and returns numeric value depending on the input provided. I need to call this script inside another script and then assign the resulting output the the variable.
The call like that A=`my script` obviously does not work since variable "A" captures the prompts of my interective script.
Is there a way to assign the resulting value of the interective script to the variable? Maybe somebody handled similar scripting situations before.
Thanks a lot in advance for all the help and advice -A

lmfsetup
lmfsetup(8) System Manager's Manual lmfsetup(8)
NAME
lmfsetup - License Management Facility (LMF) registration script
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lmfsetup [template]
DESCRIPTION
You use the lmfsetup script to register data supplied by a Product Authorization Key (PAK). The lmfsetup script prompts you for the data
associated with each field on a PAK. Once you enter all the data, LMF makes sure you have supplied entries for all mandatory fields and
that the value in the Checksum field validates the license data. If all data is correct, LMF registers the PAK in the License Database. If
any data is incorrect, LMF displays the appropriate error message and gives you an opportunity to reenter the data.
The template argument allows you to register license data from templates in /usr/var/adm/lmf. The templates stored in this directory are
created by some software products during their installation process. When you use a template, the script prompts you to supply data for any
empty fields in the template. If the lmfsetup script cannot find the specified template in /usr/var/adm/lmf, it searches your current work-
ing directory.
Use the lmfsetup script when you want to register a PAK without using an editor. Normally, you should use the lmf register command. The
lmf register command displays a template, which includes the fields on the PAK, and invokes an editor so that you can add the license data
to the appropriate fields. The lmf register command allows you to correct errors without having to reenter all the data.
