Re: Cool trick for Temp directory!

["Chuck Lewis" <chuck.lewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I USED to be a master of batch files a LONG time ago. Figured out years
later that what I'd managed to do was actually "client/server" before
that was even a term :-) We had a label generating app on a PC from
Wallace with big Printronix printers to print product labels and raw
material labels in the plants. They call  a program on the AS/400 and
request the labels. Then they would initiate a batch file on the PC and
it would go up to the AS/400 and download this data into a utility
program and load that into the Wallace label database and they would run
their labels :-) This was back in the day when the IBM emulation program
would BARELY have enough memory to run so tweaking memory, setting
address switches on cards, etc. Don't really miss that :-)

Or type SET to see all environment variables.

SET name=value to define/redefine them.
ECHO %PATH% to print the PATH environment variable.

There's all kinds of neat things you can do if writing batch files.
