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

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

LAN card.

  SET Adapter_Nif=value

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

C:\IBMCOM\MACS directory.

• /S

Recursive search and displays all sub-directories.

• /W

Displays only file names. No other information.

See the example below.

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.
