SET Command

Index


Purpose

To display the values of all environment variables, and optionally to set an environment variable to a specified value.
 

Syntax SET [var[=env_string]]
 
Type Internal
 
Remarks Environment variables are global strings that can be used for one program to communicate to another with. For example the "CAR" variable tells the CAR command where the memory-save file is. There are three forms of this command. For example the command:

    SET

displays the contents of all environment variables, and:

    SET CAR=A:CAR.SAV

sets the variable "CAR" to the value "A:CAR.SAV". The command:

    SET CAR

deletes the environment variable "CAR" from the system. (This will cause the CAR command to not use a memory-save file.)
