RE: System variables

["Didier PH Martin" <martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jany,

Jany said:
I am looking for a method to use date and time of execution in my
stylesheets.
If I run openjade on a Unix, it is very easy to store the value in
a variable and pass it to the program with the -V switch.
The problem begins with DOS. I don't know the command language very well
and it seems to be poor. Actually, I am not even sure that
such a "complicated" data manipulation is possible.
I want to avoid to tell my customer (and collegue) to enter the date,
since the system should be able to retrieve it.

Didier replies:
Jany, you can use the -V option in the command line in DOS as well. DOS will
accept a command line like below (as long as there is 255 or less than 255
characters)

openJade -V Myvariable -wno-valid -d mystyle.dsl xml.dcl myxml.xml

cheers
Didier PH Martin
