SET TMP
Specifies the location for creating temporary files
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SET TMP=<pathName>
Arguments
<pathName> is the name of the directory where temporary files are
created.
Description
The TMP environment variable specifies a single directory where both
CLIPPER.EXE and RTLINK.EXE write temporary work files. If this
variable is not specified, temporary files are created in the current
directory. The /T compiler option can be used to override the TMP
setting for the current compiler session.
In the process of some operations such as sorting and indexing,
CA-Clipper creates temporary files. These files are created either in
the current directory or in the directory specified by the environment
variable TMP.
Note: Prior versions of CA-Clipper created temporary files in the
directory specified by SET DEFAULT or in the DOS current directory, if no
SET DEFAULT was issued.
Examples
To assign a TMP variable, place a command line like the following in
the user's AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET TMP=D:\TEMP
