Re: System Environment Variable - Path - confirm if and where used

Yes, it's used...

Or rather, I can't imagine it's not used by various system stuff running in
PASE...

Also the global values would be used in QSH/QP2TERM when a user doesn't
have an individual .profile setting up a specific path.

For that matter, even user specific profiles tend to add to the existing
global path, rather than replace it wholesale in my experience.

Programmers don't think this is used, but I'd like to confirm before
deleting, or changing.
Does any of IBM LPP use/need Path set, (PASE, QSHELL, etc)?

We have a new app that needs Path set differently.

Name . . . . . . . . . : PATH
Value . . . . . . . . . :
'/usr/bin:.:/QOpenSys/usr/bin:/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSH/openssh-3.5p1/bin'

Anyone in the group have any input on this?

Thank You
