I can't believe this. The results I'm getting are showing UniData only
allowing a shell for the environment variable and won't allow it to be
sourced.
I set up the SETPTR (in an Envision environment) and it looks like it shells
also and resets when the process finishes.
Next I'll try a VOC entry for SETPR and see if THAT will effect the current
shell.
I'll paste some code below, maybe someone will see something that might
help.
/datatel/bin/colmenu_2.printer.sh as you can see from the output just
creates a shortlist of printers and sets the $PRINTER.

Well, you could set up a program called SWITCH.CAMPUS or WHEREAMI and have
them execute that, and have it ask for campus and department, and then do a
lookup to see what printer it should use and then execute SETPTR.
Attach that to their logon proc and you've got a fairly idiot proof
procedure. (note, no procedure if fully idiot proof, as in PEBKAC)

We have multiple campuses and staff that will change campus mid week. They
need the functionality of changing printers.
