Thank you, Sergey. It works for me. But there is a little issue with dots in a keyword name. Something like "ORG.project.property" saved in the global header appears as environment variable "TAR_HEADER_ORG.project.property" which is incorrect name. I believe there are also other forbidden symbols (except '.') to use in a header keyword name. 

Thanks.
