[This note has been sent to the following InterNet address(es):

Although this is rather trivial compared to some of the meaningful discussions
about jobqueues etc, I wonder if anyone has an explanation for the following :
 
I log on to my host HP3000, open a session using NS/3000 to another HP3000,
return to the host leaving the remote session active and execute the following
commands with the displayed results :
 
:remote setvar foo 25
:remote showvar foo
FOO = 25
:remote echo !foo
                         ^
Variable name not found in variable table. (CIWARN 8101)
25
:
 
It appears that the remote variable is set correctly but the message indicates
that this is not the case although it
prints the correct value after the message. Am I missing something obvious ? I
can suppress the warning using
the HPMSGFENCE variable but that misses the point.
 
TIA,
Cheers,
