Syntax:
Then: CHDIR directory
where "directory" is the name of the directory.
Note: Under MS-DOS, specifying a drive will also make that drive current.
Under MS-DOS, you will be left in the specified directory upon exiting filePro. Under Unix systems, you will be left in your original directory upon exit from filePro.
Version Ref: 4.5
Description:
Changes the current directory.
Examples:
Run a program from a required directory, and then return to the previous directory.
Then: xx = GETCWD()
Then: CHDIR "/appl/otherapp" ; system "run-app"
Then: CHDIR xx
Without the CHDIR command, the following processing would work under MS-
DOS, but not Unix:
Then: SYSTEM "cd \ appl\ otherapp" ; system "run-app"
And the following would work under Unix, but not MS-DOS:
Then: SYSTEM "cd /appl/otherapp ; run-app"
