problem with EXPORT
hi, Smilie
I created a main script called "Paymain.prg" ( /proj/paymain.prg)
In this script i created two variables as follows
MASTER=/HOME/emaster.dbf
TRAN=/HOME/etran.dbf
Aftre that i exported that two variables
EXPORT MASTER TRAN

But when i use these two variable in another script calld dboper.prg(/proj/dboper.prg),those values are not getting accessed in this script.


what might be the reason?


any help?


cheers

If you executed the script Paymain.prg like this
Code:
$Paymain.prg
$

Then this script will be executed in a new shell and you cannot access those variables in another script.

Code:
. Paymain.prg

If you use this then the script is executed in the same shell and can access those variables.

Add this
Code:
. Paymain.prg

to dboper.prg before using those variables.
