Greetings Robin,
Are you defining both variables in the same User Defined Variable (UDV)
component? I have found that if you define a variable in a UDV component,
you cannot use it as part of the value of a different variable in that
component. It appears that variables are not resolvable until the whole
UDV component has been processed
Try adding a second User Defined Variable component and move the definition
of HOSTNAME to that UDV component.
Hope that helps!
