Sam,
1) You're not supposed to reply all in this forum. (Yes I know I have
in this reply but felt it appropriate for the next point.)
2) Why ask Bryan about posting here? The question is certainly
relevant to HP-UX. The fact that it is also relevant to any other
flavor of Unix/Linux using ksh or Posix sh doesn't make it inappropriate
here.
This list is not restricted to HP proprietary applications. It is a
list for HP-UX Admins to ask questions that help them with HP-UX
administration. Since HP-UX is a Unix variant there are bound to be
thousands of questions that relate to HP-UX and yet also to Unix/Linux
administration in general.

Subject: [HPADM] Re: Scripting question - functions
Bryan,
I think is what you need:
---------
funtion_a (){
value=$1
var=value
echo $var
}
funtion_b(){
$val_a=$(funtion_a 1)
echo $val
}
------------
But, why do you ask this in a HP UX Admin list ?
Regards
