So... you want to change the actual value outside of your job of an environment variable? And persist it after the job completes? And what do you mean by 'through job parameter'?

Your problem is that the shell in which the job runs is closed when the job finishes. So, while you could generate a new value for an environment variable (in an after-job subroutine), this would be destroyed when the environment (that is, the shell) is closed. No shell can update an environment variable in its parent shell.
