How do I set a CGI environmental variable?

Question

Gettin the following when I try to run a CGI:
trying to POST /securecontrol-cgis/change-password.cgi, cgieng_scan_headers reports: the CGI program /usr/local/securant/securecontrol-cgis/change-password.cgi did not produce a valid header (name without value: got line "ct_cgi_propfile undefined. exiting.")
How do I set up the ct_cgi_propfile variable?

Hi Bill,
There are plenty of threads on here about scope, but here's one way to create a global variable:
// code on Stage.compositionReady
sym.myGlobalVar = 1;
Then, anywhere in your project, you can check/set that var like so:
sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalVar = 2;
And here's one way to create a global function:
// code on Stage.compositionReady
sym.myGlobalFunction = function(){
          console.log('myGlobalFunction');
Then, anywhere in your project, you can call that function like so:
sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalFunction();
