Subject:	Character Assignment in GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE

As an integration issue, it is desirable to make the rules for the use of character arguments of intrinsic procedures as uniform as possible. This paper provides edits to change the language for the GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE intrinsic subroutine to use the usual rules for character assignment.

Edits.

[306:17-20]	Replace the first three (3) of the last four (4) sentences for the VALUE argument with the following:

It is assigned the value of the environment variable specified by NAME.
