scripting question about 'define' and 'set defval'

[Stephen R McMillan]

Where did the variable 'ht' come from?  Did you previously define it as 
your field variable?  Stephen Mc

Re: scripting question about 'define' and 'set defval'





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.

Pablo,
I believe you should be able to do your 'set defval ht 'i' 'j' 'newvar 
 immediately following the 'define newvar...' line.

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...
