Setting Environment Variable in Jenkinsfile

this is a but of a strange problem. I am trying to use a function our Jenkins team has created that takes an environment variable called secrets and uses it to push to vault.

When I build with parameters and use secrets as a parameter this works fine, i can also print out the secrets using print("{$env.secrets}") But I want to generate the secrets in my file not send them in as a parameter.

If I don't include a parameter and define a variable called secrets in my code print("{$env.secrets}") prints null and the function does not work,

I have tried 

 SECRETS = "{{\"username\":\"${USERNAME}\",\"password\":\"${PASSWORD}\"}}"
        environment {
            secrets = SECRETS
    }

The function that uses secrets does not accept it as a parameter directly so I cannot change what I send into it, it looks something like this 

withCredentials([[$class: 'XXXXX', credentialsId: 'XXXX',
            usernameVariable: 'USERNAME', passwordVariable: 'PASSWORD']]) {
            vaultLoadSecrets(username:"$USERNAME",password:"$PASSWORD")
        }

I think if I can set {$env.secrets} at runtime it should be able to solve my issue, does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Let's say the function is called as processSecret(), then you can do it like the below snippet:

withEnv(["secrets="+SECRETS]) {
    processSecret()
}
