      SET DEFAULT  path-name

1  –  Parameters

1.1  –  path-name

    Specifies a default repository directory. You cannot use wildcard
    characters in this parameter.

2  –  Description

    The SET DEFAULT command establishes the default repository
    directory for the current CDO session.

    You can use a logical name that translates to a search list
    as the path name in the SET DEFAULT command. After setting the
    default repository area, commands that directly affect elements,
    such as CHANGE, DEFINE, or DELETE, only operate on the first
    occurrence of the element in the search list. However, the
    DIRECTORY command searches through all the repository areas
    specified in the search list.

      In this example, the SET DEFAULT command sets the default
      directory to the REVIEW directory in the DISK1:[SMITH.DATA]
      anchor repository.
