Thanks! The '&' variable form gets it.

    I think you need to change the line:
BROWSE * FROM .vbtable
to
BROWSE * FROM &vbtable

Bruce,

 

You may want to build the command

 

SET VAR vbtable TEXT = NULL

SET VAR vbtable = .%1

SET VAR vCommandLine TEXT = ('BROWSE * FROM '+.vbtable)

&vCommandLIne

CLEAR VAR vbtable

RETURN

All:

 

Table 'pksdatatest' exists, in good shape.

 

If I run 'BROWSE * FROM pksdatatest' ... at the R> prompt, I get what you'd expect.

 

If I run 'RUN lookit.rmd USING pksdatatest' ... at the R> prompt, I get the error:

 

   'Syntax is incorrect for the command BROWSE (2045)'

 

Lookit.rmd:

 

   SET VAR vbtable TEXT = NULL

   SET VAR vbtable = .%1

   BROWSE * FROM .vbtable

   CLEAR VAR vbtable

   RETURN

 

Show Var verifies that:

 

   vbtable = pksdatatest

   %1-0 = pksdatatest

 

TRACE bombs on the BROWSE line as well.

 

Thoughts?
