scripting question about 'define' and 'set defval'

[Pablo Romero]

Stephen,
I tried that initially, but it didnt work.
I even tried say newvar and to see if it recognized newvar but it just echoed "newvar" at the prompt.
can you/anyone else test and confirm this?
here are the exact lines from the script Im using...
 
'define newvar=aave(myvar,x='x1',x='x2',y='y1',y='y2')'
'set defval ht 'i' 'j' 'newvar*  'q define'* tmpvar=sublin(result,2)* tmpvar=subwrd(tmpvar,2)* 'set defval myvar 'i' 'j' 'tmpvar again, the above didnt work, 'set defval' throws an error because 'newvar' is empty/undefined.

scripting question about 'define' and 'set defval'




I think Im missing something obvious, but I cant feed a variable created using 'define' into the 'set defval' function...right now, Im using 'query define' in order to retrieve the value, but Im hoping there's a better, easier, more reliable way... 'define newvar=aave(myvar,x='x1',x='x2',y='y1',y='y2')''q define' *assuming newvar is the ONLY defined variable, I can do this...'theVal=sublin(result,1)'theVal=subwrd(theVal,2)'set defval ht 'i' 'j' 'theVal is there a simpler way to access my 'newvar' value, without having to 'query define' in order to get it?Please help, thanks...P.Romero
