The ENVIRONMENT keyword works the same as @Environment.

Hi Anajaneyulu,

Thanks for your quick reply.

In fact I was looking for an alternate approach to achieve the same functionality what Environment variable does.

Thanks,

Why don’t you elaborate on what you are trying to do?

Have you considered profile documents?

Sure, write your own system You could store settings in a text file, whatever you want. So your ssytem would then read and write from that file.

I can’t even think of any good reasons to use environment variables in LotusScript any more. Profile documents, or regular documents are much better for storing config or state data.
