HI, Is there a lexical function to read the display node defined using the set display command ? We have an program that spawns command files to start applicataions, but now need this to run on a remote node, hence the need to know where to point the application to. Ps sys$rem_node doesnt always know, only the set display command appears to carry this through all active jobs. Is there a wimdows function way to find this value from the main application as well ? ta jim

SHOW DISPLY /SYMBOL ? SET DISP/CRE/NODE=GGGG DECW$DISPLAY_NODE == "GGGG" DECW$DISPLAY_SCREEN == "0" DECW$DISPLAY_SERVER == "0" DECW$DISPLAY_TRANSPORT == "DECNET" | |||||

The thing is, i need to be able toget the DECW$DISPLAY_NODE value as a parameter so i can use it elsewhere, that means there must be a lexical function somwhere to extract the value for me, musnt there...? The alternative in dcl would be to do show display into a file, parse the file, delete the file. Is there a better approach ? Can it be done from 'c' jim | |||||

$ Show Display /Symbol
$ !
$ Write Sys$Output "DECW$DISPLAY_NODE is set to ''DECW$DISPLAY_NODE
