ARCDFLT

Purpose  

ARCDFLLT is the environment variable that points to the file that contains the default runtime parameters.

Usage Notes  

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:
  • a Parameters set in ARCENVX

    b Actual runtime parameters on the command line

    c Parameters set in ARCENV

    d Parameters set in the default file pointed to by ARCDFLT
