That line, in a context where it will get evaluated by the tcl
interpreter, should work.
Do you have a tcl variable called vchtablename available at that point
in your script? If it is a tcl array, to get its contents, you need
[array get vchtablename] instead of the $ dereference. However, that
seems not to be your problem.
Can you send the tcl trigger function code, and the create trigger
statement?
