I have a script which has some test cases in a directory

/home/raulp/testpackage/Scripts/engineTest/functionalTest/testX"

I have another package which initiates this script with the above path, how can I universally set the path to it in a variable and refer it , somethignlike this

set SCRIPT_PATH='/home/raulp/testpackage/Scripts'

UPDATE:

ok got it, I got it from export SCRIPT_PATH = $PWD ,

but now how can I combine (add) SCRIPT_PATH with another path?

export PATH! = $SCRIPT_PATH + "/my-another-path/my-another-directory/
