Hi,
I'm trying to use the "Built-in Variables" for some of my scripting. I would
like to be able to set them, specifically \v(user), \v(password), and
\v(printer). At the command prompt I can set them using the SET commands, e.g.
SET LOGIN USER <username>. However, when I attempt this using a variable (\%a)
or a macro (\m(username)), only the literal value gets placed in the "Built-in
Variables".
Is there a way to de-reference the variables/macros within the SET commands? Or,
access the "Built-in Variables" directly within a script, i.e. define \v(user)
{\m(username)}?
Thanks for your help in advance.
BTW: I'm using K95 on an Intel NT4.0 (build 1381 service pack 3) to access an
OPENVMS/Alpha across an ethernet LAN.
