This one I'm spending to much time on.
I have a korn shell script.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
Do some initialization commands
Call a function startlogfile
Call function 'main'
main calls function runsomething
Runsomething initializes and returns "${SUBJECT}"
main can print ${SUBJECT}
main returns ${SUBJECT} (or "${SUBJECT}", or ASUBJECT=${SUBJECT}
successfully ${ASUBJECT}, or "${ASUBJECT}"
outer most shell cannot print $SUBJECT
what's going on?
Thanks,
