Can WinRunner read Environment variables?

[richardchaven]

I want to allow scripts to run on different machines and hide the local configuration in environment variables (actually, the variables are already set and I want to make use of them).

How can a WinRunner script get the text of an environment variable?

Cheers

getenv ( environment_variable );

It's easy, once you already know it. Of course, it would have been easier if the index actually had synonyms!

AHHHH!!!!!!

It's WinRunner's "environment", not Windows.

Sigh
