Environment Variables

The following table lists aeft environment variables and descriptions.

Variable

Description

AEUSER [unique, system-wide value]

Provides another way of using the same Gen application on multiple sessions on the same system.

The AEUSER variable provides the unique key for Gen profile table access. Since Gen application restart depends on this key, careful consideration should be given to the method for building this unique value.

The user ID field remains unchanged for screen display.

IEFH

[directory_path]

Locates AEFT libraries. This variable must be set before an AEFT program is started.

AEPATH

Search path for executable load modules.

Set to a semicolon-delimited list of directory paths that indicate a search order for the user's application directory(s).

Example:

AEPATH=[directory_1;directory_2;...directory_n]

Note: It is expected that each directory on the AEPATH contains an inqload directory where the executable load modules should reside.
