Environment variables are stored by OS/2 in memory and can be called by any program. They are used by many programs to store information (for example, the install path) or some configuration information. If you want to see a list of all installed environment variables and their values, type "Set" in an OS/2 window. If the list is too long, you can redirect the screen output to a file, simply type this:
SET >output.txt


Environment variables are stored by OS/2 in memory and can be called by any program. They are used by many programs to store information (for example, the install path) or some configuration information. If you want to see a list of all installed environment variables and their values, type "Set" in an OS/2 window. If the list is too long, you can redirect the screen output to a file, simply type this "Set >output.txt".
==General Tips==
Note that SET commands in CONFIG.SYS behave differently than when entered on the command line.


So, when you issue the following commands in a OS/2 session:
SET TEMP=C:\TMP
SET TMP=%TEMP%
you get:
TEMP=C:\TMP
TMP=C:\TMP
But, if you add the same lines to CONFIG.SYS:
SET TEMP=C:\TMP
SET TMP=%TEMP%
you get:
TEMP=C:\TMP
TMP=%TEMP%
but not TMP=C:\TMP. The environment variable TMP now has the value composed by the letters "%", "T", "E", "M", "P", "%". For that reason, in CONFIG.SYS, you must write the values explicitly as follows:
SET TEMP=C:\TMP
SET TMP=C:\TMP
This is because variables are not expanded during CONFIG.SYS processing, but they are when run from a shell (command line).


==Base Operating System==
*[[COMSPEC]]
*[[C1]]
*[[DELDIR]] - undelete directory
*[[DESKTOP]]
*[[DIRCMD]] - dir command options
*[[DISPLAYTYPE]]
*[[DPATH (Environment variable)|DPATH]] - search path for data files
*[[ENH_STRETCH]] - enhanced stretch-blitting
*[[ENH_SUSPEND]] - enhanced suspend option
*[[GRADD_CHAINS]]
*[[GREEXT]]
*[[KEYS]] - command line history
*[[LANG]] - country-specific settings
*[[OBJECTSNOOZETIME]]
*[[OS2_SHELL]] - command line shell
*[[PATH]] - search path for executable files
*[[PROMPT (Environment variable)|PROMPT]] - OS/2 session prompt appearance.
*[[RUNWORKPLACE]]
*[[ULSPATH]]
*[[VIDEO_DEVICES]]
*[[VIO_MGA]]
*[[VIO_SVGA]]


== General Tips ==
===PM===
*[[BACKGROUNDBITMAP]]
*[[BACKGROUNDBITMAP2]]
*[[BACKGROUNDBITMAPDELAY]]
*[[BACKGROUNDBITMAPDELAY2]]
*[[DEVICEFONTDISABLED]]
*[[HARDWAREBITBLT]]
*[[NCDEBUG]]
*[[PM_ASYNC_FOCUS_CHANGE]]
*[[PM_DYNAMIC_DRAG]]
*[[PM_ROLLUP_BUTTON]]
*[[QUEUE_SIZE_THRESHOLD]]
*[[SYSTEM_INI]] - Tells the system the path and name of the System INI file.
*[[USER_INI]]
*[[VCFG_NO_DDC]] - GRADD DDC


You must note that the SET command in Config.sys behaves slightly different from it's behaviour in command line.
===Help Manager===
*[[BOOKSHELF]] - help manager search path for book shelves
*[[GLOSSARY]]
*[[HELP (Environment variable)|HELP]]
*[[HELPNDX]] - Help index


So, when you issue the following comands in a OS/2 session:
===Workplace Shell===
*[[AUTOREFRESHFOLDERS]] - automatic refresh of folders
*[[AUTOSTART]] - autostart of objects
*[[MENUSTYLE]] - context menu entries
*[[NEWNOTEBOOKS]]
*[[NOLARGENTEXEICON]]
*[[RESTARTOBJECTS]]
*[[SHAPIEXCEPTIONHANDLER]]
*[[SHELLEXCEPTIONHANDLER]] - Disable the WPS exception handler.
*[[SHELLHANDLESINC]] - Increases the number of file handles.
*[[SHOWEXTENDEDPOWERMENU]] - Intel SpeedStep
*SOMDDIR
*[[SOMIR]]
*[[WPDSERVERSTART]]


  SET TEMP=C:\TMP
;WarpCenter
  SET TMP=%TEMP%
*[[MENUSFOLLOWPOINTER]] - WarpCenter menu behaviour
*[[SCCANBENUKED]] - Allows the Warpcenter to have a delete option on its context menu.
*[[SCFINDUTILITY]] - Use a different search program in the Warpcenter.
*[[SCKILLCONFIRMDISABLED]] - Avoid the "Are you sure ..." dialogue if using the Warpcenter kill feature.
*[[SCKILLFEATUREENABLED]] -  Enables Warpcenter window list Warpcenter Window List as an application killer.
*[[SCUSEPRETTYCLOCK]] - Change the look of the Warpcenter clock.


you get:
===Multimedia===
*[[DSPPATH]]
*[[MMBASE]]
*[[MMSTREAM]]
*[[MMTYPESEXTS]]
*[[MMVWRLOG]]
*[[MMWPSLOG]]
*[[MMYIELD]]


  TEMP=C:\TMP
===Installation===
  TMP=C:\TMP
*[[CDROMINST]]
*[[COPYFROMFLOPPY]]
*[[SAVECONNECT]]
*[[SOURCEPATH]]


But, if you add the same lines to config.sys:
==Layered Products==
===Programming Environments===
;Toolkit
*[[CPREF]] - Control Program Reference
*[[GPIREF]] - GPI Reference
*[[INCLUDE]] - Include directory
*[[IPF_KEYS]] - IPF key definitions
*[[IPFC]] - IPF compiler
*[[LIB]] - Points to directories where lib files are stored.
*[[MMREF]] - Defines which files should be shown in the Multimedia Programming Reference.
*[[PMREF]] - Presentation Manager Reference
*[[WPSREF]] - Workplace Shell Reference


  SET TEMP=C:\TMP
;SOM
  SET TMP=%TEMP%
*[[SMADDSTAR]]
*[[SMCLASSES]]
*[[SMEMIT]]
*[[SMINCLUDE]] - Defines the directories where the special SOM header files are stored.
*[[SMNOTC]]
*[[SMTMP]] - Points to a directory used to store temporary files.


you get:
;SOMobjects
*[[AVLSVRNAME]]
*[[SOMBASE]]
*[[SOMDDEBUG]]
*[[SOMDIR]]
*[[SOMDMESSAGELOG]]
*[[SOMDPORT]]
*[[SOMDTIMEOUT]]
*[[SOMRUNTIME]]
*[[SOMSOCKETS]]
*[[SOMTHREADPEER]]


  TEMP=C:\TMP
;Java Run-time
  TMP=%TEMP%
*[[CLASSPATH]] - Java run-time classpath
*[[SWING_HOME]] - Swing run-time


but not TMP=C:\TMP. The enviroment variable TMP now has the value composed by the letters "%", "T", "E", "M", "P", "%". For that reason, in Config.sys, you must write the values explicitly as follows:
===Networking===
;LAPS
*[[ADAPTER_NIF]]
*[[ETC]]


  SET TEMP=C:\TMP
;LAN Services
  SET TMP=C:\TMP
*[[DLSINI]]
*[[INIT_FILE_NAMES]]
*[[INIT_FILE_RANGES]]
*[[LANINSTEP]]
*[[LOCPATH]] - Points to the location of the language files.
*[[NWDBPATH]]
*[[WPS_COMMUNICATION]]


=SET AC_PREFIX=
;TCP/IP

=SET CopyFromFloppy=
This environment variable is only useful in your install diskettes config.sys file. If you find it in your normal config.sys file, than you can delete it. If it is set up, Os/2 copy all standard drivers from the diskettes to your harddisk during the install process. If it is not set up, OS/2 copy all drivers from the CD-Rom. If your hardware needs newer drivers than that on the install CD-Rom, you can copy the new drivers to the install diskettes. And set in the config.sys on the install diskettes the CopyfromFloppy variable to "On".

=SET DelDir=
This enables the OS/2 undelete function. If this line is set up all
files you delete are not really deleted but instead are moved to a
directory specified by the DELDIR variable.
If the total size of files in the delete directory is greater than
the delete directory size the oldest files are deleted from the
delete directory until the total size of files is smaller than the
directory size. You must enable the delete directory function for
every partition that you want to be able to recover files from.
  SET DELDIR=Path1,Size1;Path2,Size2
Parameters:
* Path
Path must be a full path to an existing directory.
* Size
Size can be any value expressed in Kbytes.
See the examples below.
To use 4 megabytes of space for the undelete function on partition C:
and 10 megabytes for the undelete function on partition E:, add this
line to your config.sys file:
  SET DELDIR=C:\DELETE,4096;E:\SYSTEM\DELETE,10240

  SET DIRCMD=parameters
Parameters:
* /A[AHRS]
Shows only files with the specific attribute. Add a minus sign
(minus) in front of the letter to show files WITHOUT the specific
attribute. You can use any combination of the attributes. The /A
parameter alone calls for display of all attributes. For example you
want to display only files with the archive and read only attribute
set, then use this parameter /AAR.
          o A
            Archive attribute
          o H
            Hidden attribute
          o R
            Read only attribute
          o S
            System attribute
* /B
Don't show the heading and summary information.
* /F
Show files with full path but without date, time and size.
* /L
Displays all information in lowercase.
* /N
List files on FAT drives in the same manner as on HPFS drives (i.e.
date, time, size, EA size, name)
* /O:
Displays files sorted by following criteria. You can use any logical
combination of sort attributes. Standard is /O:GN.
        o G Directories first
        o -G Directories last
        o N Sorted by filename alphabetically
        o -N Sorted by filename in reverse alphabetical order
        o E Sorted by file extension alphabetically
        o -E Sorted by file extension in reverse alphabetical order
        o D Sorted by date from oldest to newest
        o -D Sorted by date from newest to oldest
        o S Sorted by size from smallest to biggest
        o -S Sorted by size from biggest to smallest
* /P
Pauses after each full screen of information and waits for a
keystroke.
* /R
Displays long names on FAT drives if available.
* /S
Recursive search and displays all sub-directories.
* /W
Displays only file names. No other information.
See the example below.
To set the default for the Dir command to show the output sorted by
file name, list the directories first, and pause after each full
screen of display, add this line to your config.sys file:
  SET DIRCMD=/O:GN/P

=SET ENH_STRETCH=
In OS/2 Warp 4 FP14 and above, OS/2 WSeB FP2, and the Convenience Paks, there is new "enhanced stretch-blitting." This new feature has one known ill side-effect, where some of the icons for folders and other items will appear "washed out" when running in 24bpp or 32bpp. To fix this, you can disable the new feature by adding this line.

=SET ENH_SUSPEND=
This is related to the software support package for Intel's SpeedStep dynamic frequency scaling technology (codenamed Geyserville). Enhanced Suspend support is designed to allow the system to refresh the display once the system is resumed from a D3 Cold suspend state. The Enhanced Suspend option should be enabled on a system with D3 Cold suspend enabled, if there is insufficient, disabled, or no BIOS assistence for restoring the video state once the system is resumed. On other systems, or in other circumstances, Enhanced Suspend may also be optionally enabled, if desired.
To control the Enhanced Suspend feature, the following statement should be
used in the CONFIG.SYS file:
  SET ENH_SUSPEND=<value>
where <value> is one of the following:
* 0 - the Enhanced Suspend is disabled, same as no "SET ENH_SUSPEND" statement in the CONFIG.SYS;
* 1 - basic Enhanced Suspend is enabled;
* 2 - same as "1" plus saving/restoration of the graphics mode screen.
SET ENH_SUSPEND=1 should be satisfactory in most cases, and requires the minimum of additional memory at the time of a suspend. However, there are circumstances such as a lockup desktop, or a PM Popup, where relatively unimportant video display content remains temporarily corrupted until the lockup or Popup is ended.
SET ENH_SUSPEND=2 requires additional memory to save and restore the exact the desktop bit pattern fairly immediately.  It may yield results similar to SET ENH_SUSPEND=1 if system memory or virtual address space is in short supply at the time of the suspend.
'''NOTE:''' Suspend and resume may take longer when Enhanced Suspend is enabled. During suspend, some systems will produce a text screen advising the user that the system is suspending. Likewise, upon resume, a similar message may be displayed. Drivers are readied before the video is restored. On some systems, resume feels almost instantaneous, because by the time video is available, all other hardware has been awakened and the system is ready for input.
There are some system states for which the Enhanced Suspend support requires a newer version of display driver to avoid display corruption upon resume from a D3 Cold suspend state. It is recommended that the video driver claims support for Enhanced Suspend.  The latest SciTech SNAP, IBMGRADD, and VGA/SVGA drivers have support for Enhanced Suspend. This would include Panorama, as well.

Parameters:
Key can be any word. If you have a online book that supports this feature you can see additional information if the key is set up. If it is not set up the additional information is hide from you. The parameter can contain several keys which must be delimited by a plus signs. OS/2 assigns the Ipf_Keys variable with SBCS. I don't no were this take effect. SBCS stands for single byte character set, which is used with most languages. For languages like Yespanese or Chinese DBCS (double byte character set) are used. If you have more information please post it on this wiki.

==SET Java_Clock_Resolution==
The environment variable Java_CLOCK_RESOLUTION allows you to specify the timer resolution you require from the currentTimeMillis method in the Java.lang.System class.
  SET Java_Clock_Resolution=value
Parameters:
Value can be in the range from 1 to ? .
This value is expressed in milliseconds. If this parameter is not set it defaults to 10 .
The timer resolutions available are dependent on those provided by the OS/2 system. The Java system rounds down to the nearest available resolution. 1 millisecond is always available and is the highest resolution available. The default for Java_Clock_Resolution is 10 milliseconds, and this is generally rounded to 1 millisecond accuracy.
If you need to ensure that the best Java performance is obtained when using currentTimeMillis, SET Java_Clock_Resolution = 32. This can be important when running Java benchmarks.

Parameters:
* /Q 
This causes the desktop shell to be launched immediately when ATSHELL  first starts up, without displaying the ATSHELL dialog.  (The ATSHELL dialog will appear, however, when/if you close the desktop shell program.)
* /S 
This enables a simple 'secure' mode.  When ATSHELL is started with this parameter, the command prompt and configuration options are disabled and inaccessible.  USE THIS OPTION WITH CAUTION -- if you don't have an alternative method of booting (such as boot diskettes or a maintenance partition), you won't have any way of changing the  configuration (or even removing ATSHELL from CONFIG.SYS), unless the desktop (or startup) program itself gives you access to a command  prompt.  Alternatively, you can use this in conjunction with the multi-user local logon feature of Security/2, by setting 'atshell /s' as the local shell for non-privileged users, and keeping the WPS (or something else) for the system administrator.

=SET TMPDIR=
Here you can define a directory were OS/2 and programs can store temporarily files. It is a god idea to use the same directory as used in SET TEMP. Check the directory time by time to see if there are temporally file that you can delete, because some applications forget to delete their temporally files.
  SET TMPDIR=<path>
  ex: SET TMPDIR=C:\var\temp
Value can be any full path . Relative paths are not allowed.

=SET TZ=
Use this to SET up the correct timezone you live in. The time zone is used by many network or internet application to determine the correct General Mean Time (GMT, UTC or MEZ).
  SET TZ=SSSdiffDDD,sm,sw,sd,st,em,ew,ed,et,offset
  ex: SET TZ=EST5
'''Parameters:'''
* SSS
The identifier of the standard timezone (wintertime). It must be three characters long, start with a letter and can contain spaces.
* diff
This is the difference between the GMT time and your local time. Diff is defined in hours, hours and minutes or hours, minutes and seconds. You can specify positive and negative values. Positive values denotes a timezone west of the Greenwich meridian. A negative value denotes a timezone east of the Greenwich meridian. See the examples for diff values below:
      Diff is one hour east -1
      Diff is one hour and 30 minutes west 1:30
      Diff is one hour, 30 minutes and 20 seconds west 1:30:20

=SET UNZIPOPT=
 
  SET UNZIPOPT=<parameter>
  ex: SET UNZIPOPT=-C
'''Parameters'''
* -Z
zipinfo(1L) mode. If the first option on the command line is -Z, the remaining options are taken to be zipinfo(1L) options. See the appropriate manual page for a description of these options.
* -A
[OS/2, Unix DLL] print extended help for the DLL's programming interface (API).
* -c
extract files to stdout/screen (``CRT''). This option is similar to the -p option except that the name of each file is printed as it is extracted, the -a option is allowed, and ASCII-EBCDIC conversion is automatically performed if appropriate. This option is not listed in the unzip usage screen.
* -f
freshen existing files, i.e., extract only those files that already exist on disk and that are newer than the disk copies. By default unzip queries before overwriting, but the -o option may be used to suppress the queries. Note that under many operating systems, the TZ (timezone) environment variable must be set correctly in order for -f and -u to work properly (under Unix the variable is usually set automatically). The reasons for this are somewhat subtle but have to do with the differences between DOS-format file times (always local
time) and Unix-format times (always in GMT/UTC) and the necessity to compare the two. A typical TZ value is ``PST8PDT'' (US Pacific time with automatic adjustment for Daylight Savings Time or ``summer time'').
* -l
list archive files (short format). The names, uncompressed file sizes and modification dates and times of the specified files are printed, along with totals for all files specified. If UnZip was compiled with OS2_EAS defined, the -l option also lists columns for the sizes of stored OS/2 extended attributes (EAs) and OS/2 access control lists (ACLs). In addition, the zipfile comment and individual file comments (if any) are displayed. If a file was archived from a single-case file system (for example, the old MS-DOS FAT file system) and the -L option was given, the filename is converted to lowercase and is prefixed with a caret (^).
* -p
extract files to pipe (stdout). Nothing but the file data is sent to stdout, and the files are always extracted in binary format, just as they are stored (no conversions).
* -t
test archive files. This option extracts each specified file in memory and compares the CRC (cyclic redundancy check, an enhanced checksum) of the expanded file with the original file's stored CRC value.
* -T
[most OSes] set the timestamp on the archive(s) to that of the newest file in each one. This corresponds to zip's -go option except that it can be used on wildcard zipfiles (e.g., ``unzip -T \*.zip'') and is much faster.
* -u
update existing files and create new ones if needed. This option performs the same function as the -f option, extracting (with query) files that are newer than those with the same name on disk, and in addition it extracts those files that do not already exist on disk. See -f above for information on setting the timezone properly.
* -v
be verbose or print diagnostic version info. This option has evolved and now behaves as both an option and a modifier. As an option it has two purposes: when a zipfile is specified with no other options, -v lists archive files verbosely, adding to the basic -l info the compression method, compressed size, compression ratio and 32-bit CRC. When no zipfile is specified (that is, the complete command is simply ``unzip -v''), a diagnostic screen is printed. In addition to the normal header with release date and version, unzip lists the home Info-ZIP ftp site and where to find a list of other ftp and non-ftp sites; the target operating system for which it was compiled, as well as (possibly) the hardware on which it was compiled, the compiler and version used, and the compilation date; any special compilation options that might affect the program's operation ; and any options stored in environment variables that might do the same . As a modifier it works in conjunction with other options (e.g., -t) to produce more verbose or debugging output; this is not yet fully implemented but will be in future releases.
* -z
display only the archive comment.

=SET USE_HOSTS_FIRST=
If Use_Hosts_First is set up, tcp/ip will first look in the local file ..\Etc\Hosts for the dotted IP address for a specific Hostname on the internet.
Let me explain - Whenever you connect to the internet and you access a host ( for example http://www.netlabs.org ), your browser must know the dotted IP address ( for example 195.65.67.48 ) for the host. So the Browser contact a Domain name Server (DNS) and ask for the IP address. This takes some time, to speed up internet connection you can define in the Hosts file the hostnames and the IP addresses.
OS/2 will only use Hosts file if Use_Hosts_First is set to 1. You can define all kind of hosts www-server, mail-server, news-server, ftp-server or whatever else. To get the IP address for a host type "host" and the hostname in an OS/2 window. The actual Path for the host file is defined by the Etc environment variable.
  SET USE_HOSTS_FIRST=1
Value can be any full path . Relative paths are not allowed.

Environment variables are stored by OS/2 in memory and can be called by any program. They are used by many programs to store information (for example, the install path) or some configuration information. If you want to see a list of all installed environment variables and their values, type "Set" in an OS/2 window. If the list is too long, you can redirect the screen output to a file, simply type this: 

SET >output.txt

General Tips

Note that SET commands in CONFIG.SYS behave differently than when entered on the command line.

So, when you issue the following commands in a OS/2 session: 

SET TEMP=C:\TMP
SET TMP=%TEMP%

you get: 

TEMP=C:\TMP
TMP=C:\TMP

But, if you add the same lines to CONFIG.SYS: 

SET TEMP=C:\TMP 
SET TMP=%TEMP%

you get: 

TEMP=C:\TMP
TMP=%TEMP%

but not TMP=C:\TMP. The environment variable TMP now has the value composed by the letters "%", "T", "E", "M", "P", "%". For that reason, in CONFIG.SYS, you must write the values explicitly as follows: 

SET TEMP=C:\TMP
SET TMP=C:\TMP

This is because variables are not expanded during CONFIG.SYS processing, but they are when run from a shell (command line).
