SysChangeEnvironment (Function)

In french: SysChangeEnvironnement

Modifies the environment variables of the operating system found on the current computer.

Note: SysEnvironment is used to find out the environment variables of the operating system found on the current computer.

The modified environment variables correspond to the environment variables of the operating system found on the server.

Example

VAR is string = "VAR_USER"
IF SysEnvironment(VAR) = "" THEN
// The variable does not exist, create it
SysChangeEnvironment(VAR, "VAL_VAR_USER", sysEnvUser)
Info("The variable was added, the modification will be taken into account during the next startup")
ELSE
// the variable exists, delete it
SysChangeEnvironment(VAR, Null, sysEnvUser)
Info("The variable was deleted, the modification will be taken into account during the next startup")
END

Syntax

<Result>: Boolean

False if an error occurred.
