<div>I believe tmp2 would need to be inside the quotes rather than
outside. When you say 'define tmp2 = ...' you are defining the
variable within grads but not in the script. Later you use tmp2
outside the quotes which would be a script variable. but I don't
think this will work anyway.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I thinks you want to do something like this:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>'d aave(tmp1,x='x1',x='x2',y='y1',y='y2')'</div>
<div>tmp2 = subwrd(result,4)</div>
<div>'set defval tmp1 'i' 'j' 'tmp2</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The second line above defines tmp2 as a script variable from the
output of the aave command.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>sorry, typo...<br>
I changed the names in the script during some testing and missed in
within the email.<br>
but the problem still exists, I can't find a simple way to just access
the defined variable.<br>
here it is again...<br>

<blockquote type="cite" cite> 'set defval tmp1 'i' 'j' 'tmp2<br>
say 'set defval tmp1 'i' 'j' 'tmp2<br>
<br>
the last line prints something like "set defval tmp1 -65 100
tmp2", instead of substituting the value of tmp2.<br>
<br>
the variable names are tmp1 and tmp2, though its irrelevant as long as
theyre consistent (I already checked that they are, in
fact, correct, since I can see & access them through 'q
define')</blockquote>

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

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