Wow! Both on topic and something that I can answer :-)

Please remember that SETSYSTEMVAL is a function which returns a logical true
or false value as its result. You can use it in any conditional statement,
such as:

>define d-ok char*1 = "Y" &
>  if setsystemval("_testvar","testvalue")

But remember that you actually have to reference a DEFINE in order for it to
be evaluated. If stuck you could write it so that it always evaluates to a
space or a zero (and use BWZ) and stick it in a page heading.

JWP

Subject: QUIZ: SETSYSTEMVAL


I need to do a "SETSYSTEMVAL" from QUIZ?  The examples in the documentation
show how to do it in QUICK, but not QUIZ, though the same documentation says
I CAN SETSYSTEMVAL in QUIZ?  CAN I?
