Hi,
Can you help me with evaluating variables ?

>> cat g5

#!/bin/ksh
descr940="DataStaging System"

for INT in 940
do
echo $descr$INT
done


>> ./g5
940

(I need 'DataStaging System' output)

Why are you doing that though? If you REALLY wanted a script to do
that then you should use awk or similar:

$ cat ./g5
awk 'BEGIN{
descr[940]="DataStaging System"
for (INT in descr) {
print descr[INT]
}
exit
}'
$ ./g5
DataStaging System

Regards,

Ed.
