In a filter a simple Set Fields with PROCESS action can get an environment
variable from the server
On Windows
$PROCESS$ cmd /c echo %VARIABLE%
On Unix/Linux
$PROCESS$ echo $VARIABLE
i.e. To get the TEMP location
In a set fields action set a character field to
$PROCESS$ cmd /c echo %TEMP%
NOTE: You may then have to do a replace on the field to remove the return at
the end (Some versions of *nix will allow you to do echo –n $VARIABLE which
will output without the trailing newline)

Chris,
Write a batch file/perl script/your favorite language that will get the
variable and it's value and put it in the output of the script. Put the script
on all of your environments. Create a filter that does a set-field run-process
that populates a field with the output from that script, then do whatever you
want with the output :)

I want to use the environment (when Dev) to bypass certain tasks. Thought
maybe a system variable would do this, but I can’t see how to populate it from
data on the parent Change. Not much guidance for this in the documentation.
I can map it INTO a task, but cannot figure out how to populated it.
