Variable question

[Vandy02]

I am trying to do someing very basic as I had this working within a script yesterday...so here is the part not working...
The Logname should be the USERNAME that corresponds to running the SET on the cmd line...However, it cannot be found. Yesterday this worked and I did not change anything...at least not that I know of....Note that none the parameters from USER on work here
===================================
#!/bin/sh

LOGNAME='USERNAME'

$LOGNAME
echo "TEST YOUR NAME $LOGNAME"

Vandy02,

Is 'USERNAME' an alias you have defined? I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but try something like this:

#!/bin/sh

echo "TEST YOUR NAME $(whoami)"
