Re: DISPLAY Enviroment Variable

Thanks to all who replied. I never got this to work. I'll work on this later. I think it is due to the fact that this particular 4gl runner is looking for an X-station display: When I enter "newera" on the command line I get the same results. Yet if I enter "newera &" (start newera in the background) it works okay. When I figure the problem I'll be sure to post it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheryl Kendricks Internet:cherylk@prod1.jcdc.doleta.gov OR kendric@gwysmtp.jcdc.doleta.gov DTSI, Inc.
