- Introduction.
-
- ADDPATH, CHGPATH, DELPATH, and INSPATH are batch file utilities designed
- to facilitate changes to your path statement by adding, changing, deleting,
- and inserting directories into the path. Some programs are unable to find
- their associated files, such as overlay or configuration information, unless
- you are currently in their directory or add their directory to your path
- statement. A long path statement causes searches in directories that are
- used only when these programs run. With these programs it is possible to
- design a batch file that modifies the path statement, runs the program,
- then changes the path back to normal.
-
-
- Addpath.
-
- To add a directory to the end of the path enter ADDPATH followed by the
- pathname of the directory.
-
- Example: if your path statement is PATH=C:\;C:\DOS and you want to add
- C:\UTIL, enter ADDPATH C:\UTIL. The resulting path will be
- PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\UTIL.
-
- Errorlevels returned by ADDPATH are:
-
- 0 - no error
- 1 - no directory was specified on the command line
- 2 - directory already in path
- 3 - environment area full
-
-
- Chgpath.
-
- To change a directory in the path to another directory, enter CHGPATH
- followed by the pathnames of the old and new directories.
-
- Example: if your path statement is PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\UTIL and you want to
- change C:\UTIL to C:\UTILITY, enter CHGPATH C:\UTIL C:\UTILITY. The
- resulting path will be PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\UTILITY.
-
- Errorlevels returned by CHGPATH are:
-
- 0 - no error
- 1 - less than 2 directories were specified on the command line
- 2 - old directory not in path, or new directory already in path
- 3 - environment area full
-
- Delpath.
-
- To delete a directory from the path enter DELPATH followed by the pathname of
- the directory.
-
- Example: if your path statement is PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\UTIL and you want to
- delete C:\DOS, enter DELPATH C:\DOS. The resulting path will be
- PATH=C:\;C:\UTIL.
-
- Errorlevels returned by DELPATH are:
-
- 0 - no error
- 1 - no directory was specified on the command line
- 2 - directory not in path
- 3 - environment area full
-
- Inspath.
-
- To insert a directory into the path enter INSPATH followed by the pathnames of
- the directory to insert before and the directory to insert. If you want to
- insert a directory at the end of the path, use ADDPATH.
-
- Example: if your path statement is PATH=C:\;C:\UTIL and you want to insert
- C:\DOS before C:\UTIL, enter INSPATH C:\UTIL C:\DOS. The resulting
- path will be PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\UTIL.
-
- Errorlevels returned by INSPATH are:
-
- 0 - no error
- 1 - less than 2 directories were specified on the command line
- 2 - before directory not in path, or new directory already in path
- 3 - environment area full
