DPATH - Set the data search path
Purpose: Specify the subdirectories which applications will search to
find files that are not in the current directory.
Format: DPATH [directory [;directory... ]]
directory : The full name of a directory to include in the
DPATH (data path) setting.
See also: PATH, SET, and ESET.
Usage
When most OS/2 applications try to open a data file, they look for the
file in the current directory first. If they fail to find the file
there, they may search each of the directories in the DPATH setting in
the order that they are included. Internal commands like TYPE do not
search the DPATH directories for files.
For example, the following DPATH command directs applications to look for
files in this order: the current directory, the INIT directory on C, and
the CONFIG directory on D:
[c:\] dpath c:\init;d:\config
The listing of directories to be searched can be set or viewed with
DPATH. The list is stored as an environment string with the variable
name DPATH, and can also be set or viewed with the SET command and edited
with the ESET command.
Directory names in the DPATH must be separated with semicolons [;].
CMD.EXE will not shift directory names in the DPATH to upper case as it
does with those in the PATH setting. If you want the names in the DPATH
to be in upper case you must enter them that way.
If you enter DPATH with no parameters, CMD.EXE displays the current DPATH
search list.
