In DOS, OS/2 and Windows command-line interpreters such as COMMAND.COM and CMD.EXE, an environment variable is retrieved by placing a % sign before and after it. In DOS, OS/2 and Windows command-line interpreters as well as their API, upper or lower case is not distinguished for environment variable names.
