Re: DISPLAY Enviroment Variable

Here is my 4gl pgm: database sysmaster main display " Yeah! 4gl compiles and works" end main by the way the settting of DISPLAY=<hostname>:0;export DISPLAY in my profile did not work. Thanks for the phone call! Maybe this should be the server name,instead of hostname? If I did not state it earlier I'm on a UNIX AIX 4.2 machine running Informix 7.12. with NewEra Development 1.01 installed If I resolve this I'll be sure to post the result! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheryl Kendricks Internet:cherylk@prod1.jcdc.doleta.gov OR kendric@gwysmtp.jcdc.doleta.gov OR cherylk@spamis.jcdc.doleta.gov DTSI, Inc.
