O$10.22: GetEnvironmentVariableW

[Grzegorz (Greg) Pasternak]

Phil;

Thanks for your help, I can confirm that the 'ICCM' instead of 'JCC' works indeed both on Omnis Studio 5.1 and 10.22 on Windows 10 64bit.
Now that I know the "why" I think that the orignal code should be changed to getenv(), it should work on both 32/64bit systems and O$5.1.x and 10.x.
