Re: How to determine current home directory -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

There is a RTVCURDIR command - typical RTV* command - you can use in CL. There is also a DSPCURDIR if you want just to check things out.

Now if you are specifying a path, in several places you can start it out with a tilde (~) - this is supposed to mean the actual home directory for the user - it isn't the current directory. As Scott points out in a different post, those are not the same thing, necessarily. Try WRKLNK '~' and see what you get, after you use DSPCURDIR.

I found that the "home" directory is stored in the user profile, such as
'/home/patrick'.

This appears to be the standard default directory, but what if that is NOT
the users directory.

How do I determine what the current directory is or is this even possible ?
Maybe there is no such thing as the current directory.

I want to do this in a clp and do some cpytoimpf of various files, but I
want to make sure where the files are actually going to.

or am I better off creating my directory and folders as the program
proceeds.
