In Windows mode we can set Environment variable using Datastage Administrator
In Unix mode we can set Environment variable using $DSAdmin command

$ENV as a default value of an environment variable job parameter (or parameter in a Parameter Set) is a directive to find the value in the underlying process's operating system shell. If the environment variable is not defined in that shell, the parameter environment variable will also be unset.
