Hi all,

I'm new to the HP3000 world and was hoping that someone can answer a
Suprtool question. I inherited the follow Suprtool job.  I can follow
everything but the IF statement, where does the variable '. \$PRIORSAT,53\'
get set at. If I was on a unix system I says that it was a shell variable.
I've check all of the Suprtool documentation on hand and the Robelle web
site, but cannot find an example of an IF statement like this:

!JOB THPWK1,USER.LOGON;INPRI=8;OUTCLASS=LP,1,1
!
!SUPRTOOL
USE HEALTH5.PUB.!HPACCOUNT

GET SES-DATA
DEF YDT,YMDTRANS[1],1
IF YMDTRANS>='.\$PRIORSAT,53\' OR YDT=" "
EXT FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME,OP#,TRANSCODE,YMDTRANS
OUT TPOPERAT.TEMPDATA
XEQ

EXIT

!EOJ

Thanks,
