Raymond,

I tried your suggestion but the result is the same when "whoami" is
declared at the top of the function and assigned inside the loop.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that the DECLARE inside the loop is
correct. I think you have to declare "whoami" with the rest of your
variables in the DECLARE block at the top of the function, and then you
can assign to it inside the loop.

Ray.
