DBTEMP

 

Defines the folder to store temporary files created by the runtime system.

 

Syntax:

 

DBTEMP=<path to folder>

 

Usage and examples:

 

DBTEMP specifies the folder where these groups or temporary files are stored:

§      BYTE or TEXT data located in a temporary file for LOCATE IN FILE without the specified file name,

§      temporary files of emulated scrollable cursors (in cases then the database engine does not support this feature).

 

DBTEMP=C:\Users\my_user\mytemp

 

 

DBTEMP=/usr/my_user/mytemp

 

If DBTEMT is not set, these temporary files are stored in the default folder for temporary files (e.g., in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\LyciaDesktop).

 

DBTEMP applies at runtime, so it must be set in inet.env.
