PATH

Man Page Index

Description
The PATH variable contains a list of all directories that contain executable programs. As a minimum, this should contain the shell default value plus the path of the jBASE bin directory (i.e. $JBCRELEASEDIR/bin on unix or %JBCRELEASEDIR%\bin on Windows) so that jBASE commands are seen by the shell. You will also wish to explicitly add the path of your application executable directory (such as ${HOME}/bin).

Values
Any directory the user has privileges for.

Default
The default depends entirely upon your UNIX system and how it has been set up.

Setting
Normal environment variable, so it can be set at any time by the commands:

Unix
PATH=$PATH:/apps/bin
export PATH

Windows
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\apps\bin
