dtml-let almost certainly won't do what you want since it sounds like you want the value outside of the dtml-in. This would require improper nesting. Oh sure, improper nesting sounds like fun but it is illegal. <dtml-in yadda> <dtml-let foo=sequence-item> </dtml-in> <!-- boom --> <dtml-var foo> <!-- you won't even get here. --> </dtml-let> <!-- or here for that matter --> You can: 1) Use REQUEST.set as Andreas noted. Ugly but available everywhere. 2) Install dtml-set. Inexplicably never made part of zope proper but really ought to be. I'd suggest #2.

Either use dtm-let or assign the variable to the REQUEST object using REQUEST.set() (ugly).

Hi,
I have the following code snippet:
<dtml-in expr="view.sql_query_current_windows_version(p_custName=p_custName, p_inventory=p_inventory)"> <dtml-var current_windows_version> </dtml-in>
I'd like to be able to check the value of 'current_windows_version' (which is sel in the ZSQL method) later in the code. Is there
any way of
assigning this value to a 'global' variable which I could read later? TIA,
Micheál Healy
