How to see a variable value outside a function in kshell
Hi,

I wrote a small shell script which had function C_fun() and script name is same C_fun.ksh

Here is the program inside the script

Code:
#!bin/ksh -x
C_fun()  {
  typeset TEXT=${1}
}
echo Value of TEXT $TEXT

When Im running the above script with Parameter "R" as the option . The echo statement is not throwing me a value
The output is echo Value of TEXT and there is no value available "R" . How can I catch the variable value outside the function. I tried with export option instead of typeset but no help. I Want to catch the value of the $TEXT outside the function. I hope some one can help me in this.


Thanks,
Raju.

drop_text_search_configuration

DROP TEXT SEARCH 
CONFIGURATION(7)				   SQL Commands 				 DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION(7)

NAME

       DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION - remove a text search configuration

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION drops an existing text search configuration. To execute this command you must be the owner of the configura-
       tion.

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
	      Do not throw an error if the text search configuration does not exist.  A notice is issued in this case.

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search configuration.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search configuration.

       RESTRICT
	      Refuse to drop the text search configuration if any objects depend on it.  This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       Remove the text search configuration my_english:

       DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION my_english;

       This command will not succeed if there are any existing indexes that reference the configuration in to_tsvector calls.  Add CASCADE to drop
       such indexes along with the text search configuration.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION statement in the SQL standard.
