Gregor, Thanks so much - I was still confused as I never used script before, till someone pointed out the example - I guess I missed that when I read your response the first time.
Works great! Thanks!

If the variable does not exist it returns "". The variable can be checked to see if it does exist by passing true as a second parameter to the function. Parameters The following table describes the parameters of the GetEnv command: Parameter Description var_name The name of the variable enclosed in quotes. check_exists If specified as true this parameter will return true (1) if the variable exists or false (0) if it doesn't. Return Value The value of the environmental variable unless check_exists is true in which case either true or false is returned. Example Display the TEMP variable on Windows MessageBox "The TEMP variable is ":GetEnv("TEMP") Version 6.0.3 Original version ------------------------------------------------- The host subroutine WIN.EVAL can be used to return the value of an environment variable: call WIN.EVAL('GetEnv("TEMP")',val.TEMP) Gregor -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Doug Farmer Sent: Saturday, 29 May 2010 12:52 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] wIntegrate equivalent of System Builder TU.CLIENT.GETENV subroutine For all of you multiple platform developers - A query: I have need to duplicate some code I wrote in System Builder in a wIntegrate environment. System Builder has a subroutine called TU.CLIENT.GETENV. I use this subroutine to look up an environment variable on a user's PC so I know where a program I need to execute is loaded. I am not able to find an equivalent command using wIntegrate subroutines. Not being a wIntegrate programmer, I resorted to reading all 600 pages of the wIntegrate Host Subroutines Reference manual. Quite a barn burner! I could not put it down. But seriously, I need a way to look at the user's environment settings and pull the value for a specific setting. For example, under System Builder, I would have this code CALL TU.CLIENT.GETENV("CCPath",ProgramPath) Command = '&1"':ProgramPath:'\CCEntry.exe"' CALL TU.EXECUTE.SHELL(Command,'') Under wIntegrate, I found the WIN.PCRUN subroutine (or WIN.PCRUNS2), so I know I can run the program, but I do not know how to get the environment setting or where the program is installed.
