I do not know what you tried to do.
The following will set an enviroment variable caller $DUMMY
DUMMY="joe"
echo $DUMMY
joe
In a bash script it is a little more complicated. You need to export
the variable such as:
DUMMY="joe"
export $DUMMY
- or -
export DUMMY="joe"
assuming you are using a bash shell. For example, for csh shell the
definition would have a different syntax.
