Using Environment Variables

DOS environment variables can be used on the LinkLaunch command line. Environment variables must be surrounded by percent signs. For example:

LL \\%ACCTG%\apps\excel

In the example above, LinkLaunch attempts to replace the variable '%ACCTG%' with a string from the DOS environment. LinkLaunch replaces the variable before it processes quotation marks. If the environment variable value includes spaces, you must enter quotation marks on the LinkLaunch command line or in the environment string itself.

Any part of the LinkLaunch command line can be replaced by an environment variable (directory names, application names, drive letters, etc.). If the environment variable is not set, LinkLaunch uses the variable name itself, without doing a replacement.
