Job run has wrong environment variable values if special characters are used

Environment variables defined in the job configuration are not passed correctly to the job runs. This might lead to job run failures, or the incorrect behavior of job runs.

Cause

The job configuration includes environment variables that contain whitespace or other special characters that might result in these values being truncated or otherwise corrupted.

Resolving the problem

To avoid any corruption of environment variable values defined in your job configuration, make sure that the values you insert do not contain whitespace or other special characters.
