Mike:
Excellent utility, I can see a lot of uses for it. One quick question, is
there a switch for the "TEMP" or "TMP" directories? I currently use:
-- Set location of Temporary files
SET VAR vScratch = (ENVVAL('TEMP'))
IF vScratch IS NULL THEN
SET VAR vScratch = (ENVVAL('TMP'))
ENDIF
IF vScratch IS NOT NULL THEN
SET SCRATCH &vScratch
ELSE
SET SCRATCH C:\
ENDIF
It would be nice to set this variable in one step...
