Example

The following example creates a new internal user-defined variable named MyVariable with a value of 10, and then retrieves the variable value and stores it in the MyValue variable.

MyValue=Environment.Value("MyVariable")

Note: You could omit the word Value in the statement above, because Value is the default property for the Environment object.
