How did you create the environment variables? I think you may need to use DSAddEnvVar from the Datastage Dev Kit

I created them using the datastage designer and from the properties window. But it does not have the option of specifying the default values at the time of creation. I need to specify the values for each of the parameters. Any suggestions on how to do it.

As you say, you don't get the option of setting defaults when you add a new user-defined env var through the Designer GUI

Add environment variables to the project using Administrator client. You can set default values while doing so.
