Hi All,

LET hT = FGL_GETENV("HOSTNAME")
Using above statement we can able to get env variable into 4gl prgs.
I need to set the env variable through the 4gl prg.

I tried the following, it does n't work.
CALL FGL_SETENV("HOSTNAME",ht)

Thanks
Sarwan.

Hi sarwan,
i've the same problem with you.
i know from another forum that we can use fgl_setenv() to set environment
inside 4gl file. but while trying to use it, it's error while compiling the
program.
do you have any suggestion to solve it?
thank you

Hi there,

I presume you are using Linux or Unix environment. So you should set one environment variable like this:

->MACHINE=`hostname`

it is better to export the variable for using in sub-shells:

->export MACHINE

Then, on your 4GL program you should define a variable like:

define maq char(20)

On your function use code:

LET maq = FGL_GETENV("MACHINE")

Your variable maq will have the name of your machine, that you can use in the program.

Hope it helps, bye,

Luís.
