Here is an example using ARCDFLT:

SET ARCDFLT=C:\TESTARC\CONFIG.ARC

The example above is equivalent to:

ARCMAIN DEFAULT=C:\TESTARC\CONFIG.ARC

Almost all runtime parameters can be set as defaults in the file that is pointed to by ARCDFLT. This avoids long command-line arguments. ARCMAIN loads the contents of the file pointed to by ARCDFLT when ARCMAIN builds runtime parameters using these rules:

  • If the path of a DEFAULT parameter file includes embedded spaces or special characters, enclose the path with single (’) or double (") quote marks.
  • Permanently set ARCDFLT using Start > Control Panel > System > Environment. However. if a parameter is specified multiple times in different places, the override priority is:
  1. Parameters set in ARCENVX
  2. Actual runtime parameters on the command line
  3. Parameters set in ARCENV
  4. Parameters set in the default file pointed to by ARCDFLT
