Variable field concatenation

[oqurum]

I would like to set an environmental variable using a script.
This variable would be run at logon (via the .profile)
and would set a directory for a particular variable.


e.g export YDEBTPGM=/DebtMan/LIVE/progs

I was wondering , for release purposes, if I could concatenate another file to this variable - such as

export YDEBTPGM=/DebtMan/LIVE/progs:/DebtMan/NEW/progs

Any ideas ?












I'M NOT WAVING I'M DROWNING

 

[mrn]

export a='PATH=$PATH:/DebtMan/LIVE/progs;/DebtMan/NEW/progs'

But I dont see the point

Just set two

export YDEBTPGMLIVE=/DebtMan/LIVE/progs
export YDEBTPGMNEW=/DebtMan/NEW/progs

Yes you ca do that but as mike suggested, why not use different variables. Cleaner I think?

Thanks for the responses guys

But the YDEBTPGM variable is within an application and cant be changed !!

I may use your fist suggestion as regards the use of the PATH

Most obliged..
