SETDIR

Syntax:                 SETDIR

Use:                    To set a subdirectory.

Parameters:             The directory you want to set (e.g. C:\BACKUP).

Returns:                The first character in the sending parameter will
                        have a "Y" (i.e. true) if the subdirectory was set,
                        and a "N" if the subdirectory was not set. If you
                        did not pass the parameter correctly (e.g. FOXLIB
                        = "\backup"), your sending parameter will be
                        unchanged.

Example:                . load c:\FOXLIB\setdir
                        . FOXLIB = "C:\BACKUP"
                        . call setdir with FOXLIB
                        . ?substr(FOXLIB,1,1) = "Y"
                        .T.
                        . rele modu setdir

                        From this example, the subdirectory was set to
                        c"\backup."

Example:                if substr(FOXLIB,1,1) = "Y"
                           copy to c:\backup\filecopy
                        endif

                        From the above example, you could first verify that
                        a subdirectory exists.  If it does, you could then
                        copy information to it.

Notes:                  Please note that when you use the SETDIR FOXLIB
                        command, you will make that subdirectory the current
                        subdirectory.
