Using variable in KSH function

Question

I tried to have a switch if either an option is set or not

         while getopts "s:u:d:e:ch" _OPTION; do
         case $_OPTION in
         ...
         c)
                 isCSet="Y"

then I'm calling my function :

myFunction $isCSet

then in my function I'm doing :

echo $1 but I don't have anything in.

How can I solve this problem?

Could you show the exact code you're runnning? And did you try to execute it in verbose mode ( set -x )? — rush, Nov 19 '13 at 11:24

You might be missing to initialize isCSet, eg:

isCSet=N    
while getopts s:u:d:e:ch _OPTION; do
   case $_OPTION in
   ...
   c)
      isCSet=Y;;
   ...
