D3 version 9.0 question

[CDMI - Steve T]

in QM, i have :

@DS - indicates system delimiter (ie: '\' for DOS and '/' for Linux)

@PATH - current path of account (ie: d:\usr\qm\CDMICLOCK or /usr/qm/CDMICLOCK)

TMP$PATH   = CONFIG("TEMPDIR")

temporary operating environment path

are there ways or equivalent to determine this in D3/Windows and D3/Linux ?

thanks in advance,

Steve T

Check the D3 Ref, look for "@ Shell Variable". There are a bunch of them in there.

 

I wrote a couple blogs on the topic, way more than you're probably looking for, but I think you'll be able to create your own shell vars that do exactly what you want after reading the first or second blog on the topic.

Not sure about Windows, but in D3 Linux you just execute "pwd" and capture the results.
I don't know of a @DS equivalent, but you could always check the "pwd" results.
Note that in D3 you can change your pwd by executing a "cd /my/new/directory/".
If you then shell out you'll be in that new directory. Note also that "pwd" and "cd"  are D3 verbs; If you do a O/S "cd" while shelled out you will change the working directory for that session, but when you return to D3 you will be back where you started.
I like the D3 way of changing the working directory, in UV I always have to refer to O/S files using the /fully/qualified/path/to/filename.  (Maybe someone can tell me how I don't need to do that?)
