Unable to read environment variables in extension tool

I have declared some environment variables and trying to read them in the extension tool.
When i am trying to execute throwing the below error.

Error:No Signature of the method: org.codehaus.groovy.jsr223.GroovyScriptEngineImpl.$() is applicable for argument types.

Below is the code i have used.

import com.parasoft.api,*;

public void usingEnv(){

Application.showMessage(${FileName});
}

FileName i have declared in Environments.
Language which i am using is groovy

I have used scriptingContext.getEnvironmentVariableValue("Name") and it worked.
Can some one tell me how to set the env variable??

The .tst file in the Test Case Explorer view has an Environments node. Add your variable to an environment there.

I have already added that.
After doing certain validations i want to change the value for that particular environment variable.
for getting the value i have use "getEnvironmentVariableValue" method.
Like wise is there any set method which I can use in my script?

You cannot change the value of an environment variable from a script. If you want a variable whose value you can change from a script, use a Test Variable which is defined in a test suite in the Variables tab. You use the getValue() and setValue() methods to work with a test variable.
