Explain what both of these statements mean. Let's start there.

I used environmental variables in my dev servers and used them in all my jobs.
When I imported those jobs into my QA environment , i added same envirmental varibles with my new server info, so that i dont have to go and change in each and every Job. It did not take effect with the modifed values i enterd.

I hope this is clear enough.

Not really, but let's soldier on. What exact version of 7.x do you have? Early versions required jobs to be recompiled to pick up changes to Environment Variables from what I recall...

Versio 7.5.2

How did you specify the default value for the environment variable in job parameters. Did you specify
$ENV ?
$PROJDEF ?

Or, some other value?
