Bernard,

     thankyou very much. It works now. However, I have another question
concerning this matter: in Events/trap customization variable $NVA, $NVE, etc
don't work (I had to use $A, $E instead), however it seems that out of Netview I
have to use $NVA, $NVE, $NVATTR_2, etc..., why is this happening?

Regards & thanks,
Juan.

Juan,

try with the variable $NVATTR_2 instead of $ATTR_2
