Fred,
Option 01: (Default)
SET VAR vTemp = (ENVVAL('TEMP'))
IF vTemp IS NOT NULL THEN
SET SCRATCH .vTemp
ENDIF
CONNECT DBname
If the environment variable TEMP points to a local disk,
you will have a great improvement in your application speed
as ALL temporary data will reside on the local drive. This
works great where new computers with huge drives are the norm.
Option 02: (Customized)
If you know the scratch directory for your stuff, then:
SET SCRATCH C:\DirName
CONNECT DBName
Have Fun!
Very Best Regards,
Razzak.
