Many thanks to Peter, Mark and Dale for contribution that encouraged
me to persevere.
I now have a working framework that allows my mapping file to call a
proc and pass it a user defined parameter. Now I have to turn it
into an application. I still have so much to learn about tcl.
For the benefit of the rest of the group should they ever want to do
the same my test framework code is below:
(Note) I now find that using a proc means I don't actually have to
define a variable at all. I could just do the call as:
FME_END_TCL source {$(FME_MF_DIR)test_tcl.tcl}; loggit passthis
