Put these in the start function.

Code:

echo qname
echo qmgr
echo qalias

hi nua7
i did the same as u mentioned.
but i want to use the values in the start function

please help

The variables are all global, after calling the function the variables should be set.
Try this in your main function:

Code:

echo $qname
echo $qmgr 
.....

Regards

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh93

parse()
{
    qname="lpdma111"
    qmgr="lpdma111"
    qalias="lpqqali"
}

start()
{
   print "QNAME: $qname"
   print "QMGR: $qmgr"
   print "QALIAS: $qalias"
}

parse
start

Output:

Code:

QNAME: lpdma111
QMGR: lpdma111
QALIAS: lpqqali

getHostQueueDetails()
{
hostname=`hostname -s`
value=`grep $hostname queuedetails.properties`
