I guess I've always been confused why people get so complicated
setting their 'scratch' directories.  At the risk of being ridiculed,
what is wrong with simply doing:

   SET SCRATCH OFF
   -- directory may already be there
   MD c:\temp
   SET SCRATCH c:\temp
   ERASE c:\temp\*.$$$

So what if it gives an error message if c:\temp is already there?  
Should I care which directory it goes to?  Is any functionality lost
using c:\temp instead of whatever is in: (ENVVAL('TEMP'))?

I use the above simple code at clients all the time and haven't
really noticed any problems.
