The ATE command AG_SETENV (77) is used to set an environment variable:
? TAB(-10,AG_SETENV);"<var>=<value>";chr(127);
Example
? TAB(-10,AG_SETENV);"APEX=%MIAME%\cache";chr(127);
This defines (or redefines) the environment variable APEX to equal the specified directory, after first expanding the environment variable %MIAME%. Note that the APEX environment variable defines where ATE puts the print files captured for local print or preview operations.
