Variables defined in #include scripts are "missing"

[Mike Hanson]

I'm setting up my Super Template installs. Since they all share the same directory structure, I've used an #included SBI to set a bunch of variables, and to create the directories.

However, when I specify a file to be installed, the variables that I defined in that SBI are not presented in the list, and I'm not permitted to type it manually. Do I have to manually define those directory variables in each SB6 file, or is there some way to get it to work.

Mike,

Are you using compiler variables or runtime variables?

If you are using runtime-variables (defined in a .sbi) and you don't see them in "the list", no problem. Once defined, they are available. The list only displays variables defined in the active script.

I'm using %RUNTIME%, not [COMPILER]. (Did I get that right? ;) ) The variables are set in the SBI (e.g. %DIRLIBSRC% = "%DIR3P%\LIBSRC"), then I'm trying to use %DIRLIBSRC% in the SB6 that #included the SBI. Therefore, it's not the "active" script. Have I hit a physical limitation here?

Sorry, not enough coffee - or too much <g>. I still don't know exactly where you enter (or try to enter) that information. And where are you not permitted to type it manually?

Thanks,
