We utilize a system variable on each of our workstations, that gives the terminal number for connecting to our mainframe. It would be great if we could add this variable, via ZMAN, on the workstation objects rather than having to browse ZCC and do the multiple clicks. This would save us much time and effort when we open new locations.

It turns out, you *can* manipulate system variables through ZMAN, although it is a rather tedious road.
The basic outline: export settings (which include variables) into an XML file using "zman setf", use the tool of your choice to manipulate the variable data to your liking and re-apply it back to your folder or device using "zman ss".
We have written ~100 lines of Powershell code to handle our specific use case (setting a variable to reflect an AD OU the objects in the folder need to go to) and can confirm that it is actually working as desired.
