SET(DEFAULT_DIRECTORY)
Determines the directory that will be used as your current, default
directory.
Syntax
[old_default_string :=] SET (DEFAULT_DIRECTORY, new_default_string)
Parameters
DEFAULT_DIRECTORY A keyword indicating that the SET built-in is
being used to control which directory is used as
your current, default directory.
new_default_string A quoted string naming the directory to which you
want the default changed.
old_default_string Optionally, the string naming the old default
directory.
Comments
Note that when exit from TPU, your current, default directory is not
restored to the default that was set when you invoked TPU.
Note, too, that if you issue the EVE command DCL SHOW DEFAULT, the
directory shown is not always the new default directory, even though
the setting has actually been changed. To update DCL's tracking of
your current, default directory, you can use the EVE command DCL SET
DEFAULT.
If you specify a logical name that is a search list, TPU will set
your current, default directory to the first directory in the search
list.
Example
prev_dir := SET (DEFAULT_DIRECTORY, "DISK1:[WALSH.PINK]");
This statement sets your current, default directory to [WALSH.PINK] on
the device DISK1. The variable "prev_dir" contains the string naming
the previous default directory.
