acessing environment variable in scripts

[RAJARP]

Hi all,
I am having a unix script which is getting called by a before/after subroutine.The script is just searching for a file like
find home/md/DEV/MIS/LANDING -name MIS_Customer_\*.
But i dont want to hardcode the path in my script.But am having an environment varibale defined in my administartor as
PATH(ie)home/md/DEV/MIS/LANDING .Is there any way to access that environment variable in my shell script ??.or please let me know anyother workaround to achive this.
Please help me
regards,
rajarp

Pass the value of the environment variable as a command line argument when invoking the script, and pick it up within the script as a shell variable that reads the command line, for example $1.

Or seems to me you could just reference it directly in the script - $VariableName or ${VariableName} for example.

Define variable as job parameter, In the Before/After exec You can use that variable as #variable-name#

That would fail if the job parameter had been given a non-default value at run time, which does not change the environment variable value. That's why I thought the indirection was necessary.

Actually, if you've added an Environment Variable as a job parameter and assigned it a non-default value at runtime, then it *is* changed for the duration of the session. So I don't really think it would fail.

Simple enough to test if one felt the urge.
