[Antelope] shell variables and dbsubset

[Jennifer Eakins]

Try this:

#!/bin/sh

STATION='P21A'
#dbsubset usarray.arrival 'sta == "$STATION" ' > out.view
#dbsubset usarray.arrival 'sta=="$STATION"' > out.view


dbsubset -v usarray.arrival " sta=='$STATION' " | dbunjoin -o p21a_tmp -

Use a double quote on the outside, single quote around $STATION.  I  
added spaces above for clarity (between " and stat and STATION' and ").
