Author Temp Files with Clipper Program
Donald Leask

2005-10-31, 6:55 pm

I find that a clipper program running on a Win XP workstation attached to
Netware 3.2 server is writing temp files to the root directory - how do I
change this to a subdirectory such as F:\TEMP?

Donald,

Are they Clipper's or Application's temp files?

The first things to try are setting environment variables...

SET TEMP=F:\TEMP
SET TMP=F:\TEMP

....and checking the Start In/default directory of the shortcut or batch
file that launches the program.

///

Are these temp files created by the program (i.e. *.dbf, .tmp, etc.) or
are they the swapfiles (ACFFHDWE, AACDAJJA, etc.) managed by the
(IIRC...) linker code? If the latter, check your linker documentation.
