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.
