<p>The Change Current Directory (CHDIR) command changes a specified directory to the current working directory. The current directory can be a directory, library, folder, or database file. The current directory is used to locate objects used by the commands.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This command is an alias for the Change Current Directory (CHGCURDIR) command and can also be issued using the following alternative command names:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>CD
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>CHGCURDIR
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|

|
<p><b>Restrictions:</b>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>This command works on only one object. If a pattern is specified on the <b>Directory (DIR)</b> parameter and more than one object matches the pattern, the user can select the object from a list in an interactive job. If this is a batch job, the command fails with error message CPFA08E, "More than one name matches pattern.".
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The current directory and current library are separate and distinct entities. The current library and current directory can be set to the same library, but a change to either the current library or current directory does not affect the other.
|
||
|
|
<p>The current directory, set with this command, affects the integrated file system commands and APIs. The current library, set with the Change Current Library (CHGCURLIB) command, affects commands such as the Create Display File (CRTDSPF) command, that uses the value *CURLIB as a library qualifier.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The user must have read (*R) authority to the directory.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The user must have execute (*X) authority to each directory in the path.

<p>The alternative command name for CHDIR is CHGCURDIR. The following examples use the alternative command name, but CHDIR can be replaced directly for CHGCURDIR in all of them.
|

</p>
|

|
|
<p><b>Example 1: Changing a Current Directory</b>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
CHGCURDIR DIR(/DIRECTORY2)
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This command changes the current directory to the directory named DIRECTORY2.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Example 2: Changing a Current Directory to the Parent of the Current Directory</b>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
CHGCURDIR DIR('..')
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This command changes the current directory to the parent directory of the directory that contains the current directory before this command is run.
