How to pass value back to the calling script?

[prog3]

Hi,

I have a K shell script a.scr calling b.scr.
b.scr does some calulation and returns a value. I need this value passed back on to a.scr for further processing?
Any help on how to pass back the value is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Prog3.

#!/bin/ksh
# this is a.scr

bValue=$(b.scr)

echo "bValue=${bValue}"

The b.scr script must write the result to this standard output:
echo &quot;$CalculedValue&quot;
The a.scr must capture the stdout of the b script:
ValueWanted=`b.scr arglist`

Hope This Help
PH.
