Re: Is it possible in the Setup section, doing a load-lookup, to use an environment variable?



Hello Joseph,
        Have you tried passing the db name on the command line using ask?
When you say db name do you want to know what database you are running or
what schema you are using? If you want to know the database that your SQL
statements were compiled for you can use the SQR variable $sqr-database.

        Hope this helps,
        Dan

        Please, is it possible to use the getenv() function to get an
environment
        variable for use in the Setup section during a load-lookup? I have
tried
        many code variations without success. In the following code, I'm
trying top
        make the "table=" statement in the load-lookup get the db name from
an
        environment variable:


        Begin-Setup
         Declare-Layout Default
          Orientation = Portrait
         ! Paper-Size = (8.5,10)
          Top-Margin    = 0.50
          Bottom-Margin = 0.50
          Left-Margin   = 0.20
          Right-Margin  = 0.20
         End-Declare

        load-lookup
                name=ItemStatus         !* Problem Status
                table=arcd_n20..tcodedecode  <--------- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
want to
        use an env. variable here!
                key=i_cd
                return_value=decode
                where='cat=354 and actv_ind=''Y'''

        I have tried using the getenv function right in that line, and also
        assigning a variable first. Please, if I were to assign a variable
where
        would it go and what would it look like?

        Thank you to all who responded to my question yesterday regarding
the
        environment variables!

        thank you
