Second Job: Read Variables

...

The JOC Cockpit GUI allows the mapping to be added per job from the right lower corner with the Environment Variables sub-tab.
The mapping includes free choice of the name of an environment variable which is used in the job script and to assign an existing order variable.
The spelling of variable names is case-sensitive.

The job script implementation looks like this:
