Sys.GetEnvPart of Sys module

Syntax   Sys.GetEnv ( symbol : string ) : string

Description   The Sys.GetEnv function is used to access the environment string whose name is symbol. These strings are determined by the shell (command processor) or the program that caused your program to run. See also the Sys.Nargs and Sys.FetchArg functions.

Example   On a PC, this retrieves the environment variable USERLEVEL and prints extra instructions if USERLEVEL had been set to NOVICE. USERLEVEL can be set to NOVICE with the command SET USERLEVEL = NOVICE in the autoexec.bat file or in any batch file.

        const userLevel : string
        userLevel := Sys.GetEnv ("USERLEVEL")
            if userLevel = "NOVICE" then
            …           % put a set of instructions
        end if

Status   Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling Sys.GetEnv, not by calling GetEnv.
