CONFIG.SYS - SET Statements

Return to The Config.sys Documentation Project Main Page

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".

SET Adapter_Nif

This Statement is part of the Lan Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS)

and points out the network information file (NIF) for the installed

LAN card.

  SET Adapter_Nif=value

Parameters:

Value can be any NIF file . The NIF file must be located in the

C:\IBMCOM\MACS directory.

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 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
