hmm. I'm thinking I need to resurrect a tech tip I started writing once on
UniData's use of TMP and other 'work' files.
The TMP environment variable is mostly used. Certainly by udtsort (SSELECT,
etc) and BUILD.INDEX.
The UniBasic compiler always uses /tmp
There are other (small) exceptions - if I recall correctly.

Dear group,

This may seem like a basic Unidata 101 question, but here goes...

A question came up today at my company regarding the TMP parameter and
wanted to clarify with the rest of the U2 community. Btw, we're on
Unidata 6.0.1 -- soon to be 6.1 running on Solaris.

For example, we have our system setup with the following

TMP=/usr/ud/tmp

Does this mean that ANY udt process needing temporary space such as
running SELECTs, BUILD.INDEXing, etc. uses this disk space for
temporary storage? Or, is /var/tmp used at any point for anything
relating to Unidata? My guess is that all processes involving udt
would use /usr/ud/tmp and not have anything to do with /var/tmp.
