Re: Setting Informix Environment Variables

As you probably know :-> unix environment variables are a property of the shell you are running. Processes can pass them to their children when they launch them, but children cannot alter the environments of their parent processes (unless of course somebody can correct me on this) Which means that there is not much point of setting an environment var within a 4gl, because when it terminates ,its shell and environment vars perish with it...unix is not like dos in this respect, or is that dos is not like unix :->
