When STAFProc is started, it runs with the environment variables that were
set at that time. You can't change the environment variables for STAFProc
(or really for any application) after it has started. STAF/Env/xxx
variables like STAF/Env/Path are basically "read-only" variables that show
you the environment variables settings for STAFProc. You should not be
changing the values of STAF/Env/xxx variables.
When you use the STAF PROCESS service to run a command, it runs in the
same environment as STAFProc. To change or set a new environment variable
when running a command via a PROCESS START request, you can use the ENV
option(s) to set environment variables. For example:
C:\>STAF local PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "set" ENV
PATH=C:\value;{STAF/Env/Path} RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT

Subject
[staf-users] Question on Setting values to an Environmental Variable
I am trying to set a value to an environment variable so that the
processes
proceeding directly after will be able to use the values.
I am using the VAR service command staf <IP Address> var set var
STAF/Env/Path="c:\value".
The variable appears to be set properly since when the command staf <IP
Address> var list is used the newly set values do show up.
However, a command that is passed in directly after does not recognize the
new path variable.
Is this the proper command to use, or is there another way to do this?
Thanks
-Larry
