When I do type: RUN QUICK.PHXXX.COGNOS;INFO="AUTO=SCRENSC DICT=DICT1"  I cannot pass a variable to a lower screen.  In my case I wanted to pass the province PQ, ON BC, etc depending on the dictionary I open.  We thought of identifying the province right in the dictionary as ELE PROVINCE INITIAL "PQ" for example.  Specifying the dictionnary for BC will still display PQ if SCRENSC was compiled with dictionary of PQ.

I unfortunately cannot pass any parameters to my new screen. If I do RUN SCREEN SCRENSC PASSING TEMPFIELD.  It works, but I lose the ability to choose the database I want to open.  I don't have the FUNCTION that extracts system variable since I am running version 5.06C.  Apart from inserting a DIRECT file into each of my dictionaries and reading the parameter I pass by doing

 GET DIRECFILE AT 0.
LET PARAMETER = PARAMETER OF DIRECTILE, 


If I do RUN .... STDIN=STORE_INFO_FILE, I lose the ability to type into my lower screen.

Is there any other way of passing a parameter?

Thank you,
