DCL Symbol Substitution in PIPE?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I am trying to use a pipe to set a symbol and use it in subsequent commands
 down the "pipe" but as you can see from the following command sequence, the
 symsol is not being interpreted correctly ...
SPA_TEST_C/S>pipe p :== qul && show symbol p && cp
 wms'p'::wc_control:%%%_logicals.def [.'p']
  P == "QUL"
