You could use, /param:, which is an argument to wfcrun32.

You have to set your published application to have the standard client
redirection "%*" at the end. Once you've done this you can launch the
command line with:- 

Wfcrun32 (ica file).ica /param:"%envvar1% %envvar2%"

For example, say you've got a published appplication with a command line as
as follows:

c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe "c:\store\test.vbs" "%*"

You can then launch an .ica file for the published app with a local client
command line -

Wfcrun32 myapp.ica /param:"%envvar1%"
Or
Wfcrun32 myapp.ica /param:"%envvar1% %envvar2%"

Once test.vbs is launched in the Citrix session, it will operate on the
envvironment variables passed in from the client.

Obviously, change the application name as suites, and your app needs to be
able to take in a parameter.  

If its lots of information, pipe it out to a file, launch the ica session
and use the file as the input - you'd need drive mapping for this to work
tho'.

Subject: [THIN] passing client environment variables in citrix session

Is there any way I can pass client environment variables into a citrix
session?  I have an app that defines a variable on the fat client, and that
starts up an ica session to a published app.  We now need this variable
available in the published app.

regards,

Erik
