OK, for kicks I decided to move the text and integer-to-text
variables to just before they were needed, just prior to the output.
It works. I'm not sure why, but it does.
I'd been always specifying my vars at the top of a file. Maybe
not good practice universally.
Thanks to all.

Sorry for the from the hip response, but I made up a test
script after I
sent the previous and it does work WITHOUT the parens
although WITH is
preferred. In every case where the variables actually
held a value, it was
output to the target file. When ther variable was
empty or null, the result
you experienced is what is expected. Have you
run this code with error
messages and messages on to see if Rbase
complains (like lack of sufficient
buffer space) or something like that
(like having a large number of
variables already in process and not
enough space to process the current).

Subject: writing
variables
I'm trying to create a command file that outputs
values to a file. It works
in trace, but not from the command line. I'm
doing something wrong, but can
t figure out what.
What I get is
this:
Monthly program case stats
02/01/2002 to
02/28/2002
=============================================
cases
open 1st of the month =
number of new cases opened =
number
of cases closed =
cases open end of the month =
number of
youth receiving service =
In Trace the values appear. The code
is attached (since my mail client can't
take cut/paste and produce
plain text).
tia for any
help.
