Purpose

To specify the path to be used by the SYS(3) temporary file name function


Syntax

SET TMPDIR TO <expC>


See Also

DB_TMPDIR, SYS()


Description

The SET TMPDIR command is used to specify the path to be used by the SYS(3) temporary file name function. The SET TMPDIR command can temporarily override the DB_TMPDIR setting that is set at the beginning of a session and cannot be modified during the session. If neither DB_TMPDIR nor SET TMPDIR are set, the SYS(3) function will return a file name without any path information. With DB_TMPDIR or SET TMPDIR set to a valid path, the return value of SYS(3) will include this path information. Please note that the <expC> should include a trailing directory separator.


Example

set tmpdir to "/usr/tmp/"
? sys(3)
/usr/tmp/000cf30006
