RUN("childmap.mmc" , echoin(1,ip) + "-OEn") where n is the childmap op card u wanna echo.

As explained above, you can "echo" in the value returned by the child map into the field where the RUN map statement is, by using "-OE1" which will return the value from output card 1 in the child map. If you want the value from the second output card in the child map, use "-OE2", and so on. This is most likely found in the “Execution Commands” documentation.

You mentioned "Is this possible in WTX?", and I just wanted to say, almost every time that question is asked, the answer is yes. WTX is a very powerful tool when used properly.
