Re: Simple PIPE ?
Thanks, this will work for me too.

Re: Simple PIPE ?
Yes, cheating. Sometimes cheating is OK. ;-)
Another alternative (to be considered only after determining if the
process could be better handled in the pipe itself):
...pipe stuff...
'| VAR newname'
If symbol('NEWNAME')='VAR' /* 'NEWNAME' must be in quotes and IIRC
capitalized */
then go ahead and use the variable as set by the pipe
else the variable was not set, take appropriate action
I confess to using TRACKING or symbol('VARNAME_WHATEVER') depending on how
clear my mind is at the moment.
Symbol() is probably a more clean technique, but Rich's STEM solution
works well to (esp. with a 'TAKE 1' stage before it).
