DOS environment variables are supported in the custom tool parameters and work as parameters on

the New Custom Tool page or the Manage Custom Tools page. However, they must be surrounded

by double percent (%) signs. For example, to pass in the

NOTICELABEL

environment variable as a

parameter, it should be entered as

%%NOTICELABEL%%

on the parameter line. The environment

variables can also be accessed from a batch file or script file. To use them in a batch file or a script

file, only a single percent (%) sign should precede and succeed the environment variable name. See

“Custom tools reference” for a list of other substitutable variables.
