Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

Using Environment Variables in Actions and Data Types

    Reference an environment variable using the syntax:

	$[{]variable[}]. 

The variable is expanded (replaced by its value) when the database is loaded. If a string variable and environment variable have the same name, the string variable has precedence.

For example, this execution string prints a file with a banner containing the login name.

EXEC-STRING lp -t$LOGNAME %(File)Arg_1%
