I'm trying to do a 'perform find, restore' script step after setting a
global variable, ie

set variable($$myvar, "myvalue")
perform find (restore) where specification is 'find records where
table1:field1 = $$myvar'

the problem is that $$myvar is being applied literally instead of being
evaluated for myvalue. When the find fails and I go back to modify find
criteria I would expect to see "myvalue" in table1:field1. Instead I am
seeing "$$myvar". And of course there are no records which contain a string
"$$myvar".

I'm sure I'm overlooking something.
All help is appreciated.

never mind on either of today's posts. I found both answers at
