8.0;eoff, revision 8.0, 84/04/20 EOFF -- Deactivate the Shell's -E flag. usage: EOFF FORMAT EOFF EOFF disables variable evaluation. Variables are evaluated only inside variable expression delimeters, ((expression)); otherwise, the Shell treats the ^var_name expressions as strings and they are not evaluated. To enable variable evaluation regardless of the context in which the variable appears, specify EON. By default, EOFF is in effect when a Shell is invoked. If EOFF is specified in a Shell script, it remains in effect until that Shell script exits, or until over-ridden by an EON in a nested Shell script. When a Shell script exits, the state of variable evaluation is returned to the state in effect just before the script was invoked. EOFF requires no arguments or options. RELATED TOPICS More information is available. Type: - HELP EON for details about enabling global variable evaluation. - HELP SH for details about the Shell command line interpreter. - HELP SHELL for general Shell information.
