What did you do between defining the environment variable and testing 
it?   A process (e.g. Explorer, in which DQSD runs) takes a snapshot of the 
environment when it starts, so unless you restarted Explorer after defining 
the variable, it won't have propagated through to DQSD.

Note that defining is with SET at a command prompt won't be enough - you'll 
need to do it in the control panel.

That's probably because you're starting a new CMD process, which takes a 
new copy of the environment.

Of course, after all this, you're going to tell me that you rebooted after 
changing the environment, and I'm completely wrong.

Cheers,
