Hello again,

Thank you for the information provided!

Based on that I tried to do the following:

In batch file or from the command prompt I try many variations but none of
those worked:

set myYar=c:\myDir\myJar.jar myTargetDir

set myYar=c:\myDir\myJar.jar!\myTargetDir

set myYar=c:\myDir\myJar.jar\myTargetDir

Basically this is my situation: I have dll file. One of the methods takes
the parameter and accordingly is looking for environment variable in Windows
system. If it has been found, then the application refers according the path
to this directory for grabing some data.

In my case this directory is located in jar file. The situation makes me to
keep it there.

How to assign the environment variable using DOS command to be equal to this
directory in

side jar file?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Maritza.
