   I am working on a DCL script where I want to capture output from a   
   command in a symbol for manipulation later in the script.   
      
   I have it working by using the /OUTPUT qualifier on the command to put   
   the output (just 1 line in this case) into a temporary file, then later   
   use READ to put the contents of the temporary file into a symbol.   
      
   I was wondering if I could use PIPE to do the same thing without having   
   to create and later clean up the temporary file, but so far I have been   
   unable to fine a way to get READ inside a PIPE to set a symbol that's   
   accessible outside the PIPE command.   
      
   READ's help says that it creates the symbol in the local symbol table,   
   but is there anyway to get READ to set a global symbol?
