The definesrtvdir command defines the directories to be used for the
temporary work files that are created while a Sort process runs. These files can be very
large and so there is often a requirement for them to use a location other than the
default. The work files are deleted when the Sort process completes.
Syntax
definesrtvdir <name> <path>where <name> is the name you want to assign to the virtual
sort directory and <path> is the directory where the
temporary work files will be stored. If the path name includes spaces, enclose it in
braces.
Example
definesrtvdir sortwrk C:/Temp
definesrtvdir SortTmp {C:/Work Files/Sort}Variations
When issued without arguments, the definesrtvdir command returns a
list of existing sort virtual directories.
When issued with only the name argument, the definesrtvdir
command returns the path of the named virtual directory.
You can edit the path used by a existing virtual directory by issuing the command with a new path name. For example:
definesrtvdir sortwrkreturns C:/Temp, the current path for the Sort work files directory.
definesrtvdir sortwrk {C:/Work Files/sort}replaces the original path (C:/Temp) with the new path {C:/Work Files/sort}.
To delete an existing virtual directory, issue the definesrtvdir
command with an empty path.
definesrtvdir sortwrk {}
