How can I enter my Global variable &&Business to my focexe's (have
20 modules that use the same global variable) so that I can have
my users submit the batch stream and include the new variable when
they submit the stream in VMS
Help a new focus user...............

To get info from VMS to FOCUS, set symbol or logical in VMS and
recover in FOCUS using a user written subroutine that calls the
appropriate rtl routine. To go the other direction, set a logical
in the job table, or use a rtl subroutine to set a symbol at the
current process level. Or write a file and read it in. But focus
can get out of synch with vms i/o without a means of trapping.
