For all who are curious, how do you alter the environment while running a 4gl program? I've tried this: MAIN DEFINE arg_str CHAR(20) LET arg_str = fgl_getenv("ROBS_ENV") DISPLAY "arg_str = ", arg_str CLIPPED RUN "ROBS_ENV=hello ; export ROBS_ENV" LET arg_str = fgl_getenv("ROBS_ENV") DISPLAY "arg_str = ", arg_str CLIPPED END MAIN and both displays are blank. Any clues?
