https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/custom-tools-environment-variables/m-p/4368423#M36581 I use perl scripts.<BR />For those you just need a "use env;" statement and then the variables are like $NOTICELABEL.<BR /><BR />Just wondering if you need the double %, have you tried just single % around the variable name?

The SIM reference manual says that I can pass them as %%NOTICELABEL%%, etc. However, this just reads them in as %NOTICELABEL%, one set of '%' characters stripped and no actual content.<BR /><BR />This is Linux, so it is a Bash script being called. Can I pass env. vars. in through Linux, or does it have to be DOS Batch?<BR /><BR />Thanks for the help,<BR />Tom Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:22:24 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/custom-tools-environment-variables/m-p/4368422#M36580 T.
