So, is this better than SET SCRATCH TMP?

    Example 02:
    -- AppStartupFile.DAT
    DISCONNECT
    CLEAR VAR vChkFile
    SET VAR vChkFile INTEGER = NULL
    SET VAR vChkFile = (CHKFILE('C:\TEMP'))
    IF vChkFile <> 1 THEN
       MD C:\TEMP
    ENDIF
    SET SCRATCH C:\TEMP
    SET ERROR MESSAGE 2262 OFF
    SET ERROR MESSAGE 2926 OFF
    ERASE C:\TEMP\*.$$$
    SET ERROR MESSAGE 2926 ON
    SET ERROR MESSAGE 2262 ON
    CONNECT dbname IDENTIFIED BY userid password
    QUIT TO YourAppMainMenu.RMD
    RETURN
This technique allows you to define your own R:BASE SCRATCH
directory as well as the freedom of reading, writing and
deleting scratch files on the local workstation without
being concerned about the user rights and allocated space
on the network or mapped drive, when working in a multi-user
environment. Using this technique, you are also aware of the
exact location of R:BASE Scratch files for manually cleaning
the TEMP directory on local hard drive.
