Re: Passing a value from Unix into 4GL ?

You can do it using a temporary file created in the executed script then loaded to a temporary table in 4gl. I commited an example to the aubit4gl test/exanple repository as test 1060. You can see it with cvsweb at: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/aubit4gl/aubit4gltest/1060/ .
