How are you 'calling' the Basic program from jCL ?
Are you 'executing' the Basic program with a :
HProgram_name
P
in the jCL proc ?
If so, you could pass the 'variable' as a parameter to the command
line, eg :
MV %1 'Mydata'
HProgram_name <--- note : you require a space at the end of
this line, in order to obtain a space before the 'parameter'
A
P
and retrieve the 'variable' within the Basic program using :
passed_variable = SENTENCE(1)
or without specify anything other than :
HProgram_name
P
,to 'call' the Basic program from jCL, you can retrieve the entire jCL
input buffer ('%' buffer ) using :
PROCREAD passed_variables ELSE CRT 'This Basic program was
probably not called from jCL'
in the Basic program.
[ Although the 'PROCREAD' does not appear to be working in my current
version of jBASE 4.1.5 ;-(
jBASE 3.4 should be fine though ;-( ]
