BLINKER ENVIRONMENT CLIPPER (Clipper)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose : Change the name of the Clipper environment variable
Syntax : BLINKER ENVIRONMENT CLIPPER <name>
Example : # Change the name of CLIPPER variable to Newclip
BLINKER ENVIRONMENT CLIPPER Newclip
This command allows the developer to change the name of the CLIPPER
environment variable from the default setting of 'CLIPPER' to any string
of up to 16 characters, and thus avoid the remote site settings for the
CLIPPER environment variable.
Used in conjunction with the BLINKER ENVIRONMENT OVERRIDE command, this
allows the settings burnt in with the BLINKER EXECUTABLE CLIPPER command
to be overwritten at runtime by this newly created variable. The choice
of a unique name avoids any conflict with previous settings for the
CLIPPER environment variable.
For example, if a script file contains the following commands:
BLINKER EXECUTABLE CLIPPER F31;X100
BLINKER ENVIRONMENT OVERRIDE
BLINKER ENVIRONMENT CLIPPER ACCSYS
Even though the following statement may already have been set from DOS:
SET CLIPPER=F21;
this CLIPPER environment variable will be ignored by the application,
and the BLINKER EXECUTABLE CLIPPER setting can be overridden by the
following DOS command:
SET ACCSYS=F99;
