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

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


by any program. They are used by many programs to store information
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).

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 CopyFromFloppy=Value
 
Parameters:
 
Value can be On or 1 .

=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=
DIRCMD specifies a default parameter used by the Dir command in the
 
OS/2 shell.
 
  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

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).
