Hi,

• Enviroment variables are nothing but global variable.
• These environment variables are used when have more number of scripts / functions.
• All the global variables (environment variables) are declared in a file with extension ".ini"

there are three types of environmental variable in qtp

1.user-defined internal:-variables that you define with in a test , they are saved with the test and accessible only with in the test in which they were defined.

2.User defined External:- vaiable that you predefined in the active external environment varaibales fiel. you can create as many files as you want and select an appropriate file each test. External environment varaibale values are designed as read only with in the test.

3.Built-in:- this varaiables are such as test path, Os etc., they are accessible from all tests , and are designated as redonly.
