Well i have tried using "export" from the first script and "import" into the another but the values do not come


In the First Script

Code:
export TZ=EST5EDT

JS_ST=$(date +"%k%M")
export JS_ST
echo "The Launch Time now is $JS_ST"


And in the second script

Code:
export TZ=EST5EDT
import JS_ST
echo "The Job Stream Launch Time is $JS_ST"

But the Value JS_ST is not coming

So Finally i had to export the variable to a File and then i read it from the File.

Quite surprised, Shell scripting doesnt have export/import function.
