Replacing file equations on windows//

[Greig Morrison]

In Windows you can also set the "Environment Variables" by opening My
Computer, on the Advanced tab. Click on the Environment Variables button and
setup the Variables and their Values at either the individual User level or
System wide.

Then you can reference them from Powerhouse as Ken mentions using the
%[variable]% syntax.

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but here are some options.

(This is from a long list of bat files used to setup different versions of
the same application)

 

BAT:

set FOLDER=EnCore

set APPLICATION=Core

set COMPANY=c:\progra~1\%FOLDER%

set LOCATION=%COMPANY%\%APPLICATION%\%ENVIRONMENT%

set DATA=%LOCATION%\data

set SYDATA=%DATA%\sydata

 

PDL:

File QKMSGDES &

  Organization SEQUENTIAL &

  Open %SYDATA%\qkmsgdes

 

  Record QKMSGDES &

 

 

File JobCounters &

  Organization INDEXED &

@if HPMPEXL

  Type KSAMXL &

  ReUse &

  Ascii &

  Open JOBCOUNT.DATA &

@elseif UNIX

  Type CISAM &

  Open $COMPANY/jobCount  &

@elseif WINDOWS

  Type DISAM &

  Open %COMPANY%\jobCount &

@endif

  Create 

 

  Record JobCounters &

 

 

Hope this helps.

Ken

On the 3K you can point a file reference from one place to another..

IE the formal name is  BTCHFILE.JOBS.WORK

You want to open something called MYBATCH.LOCAL

so FILE BTCHFILE.JOBS.WORK = MYBATCH.LOCAL

OpenVMS and Unix have a similar constructs ( something like the pathing
would be different but essentially  BTCHFILE=MYBATCH )  



Does windows?

SET doesn't seem to work..
neither
SET BTCHFILE=MYBATCH

or SET BTCHFILE.dat=MYBATCH.dat worked in my tests

 

I know that I can put an environment variable in the PDL but for my purposes
that would make things messy.
