The SET command

Displays, sets, or removes environment variables.

Basic syntax

SET [variable=[string]]

variable Specifies the environment-variable name.

string Specifies a series of characters to assign to the variable.

Type SET without parameters to display the current environment variables.

Type SET variable= without a value to delete variable from the environment.

Type SET variable=value to assign value to variable. You can now use %variable% in batch files whenever you need its value.
