Environment       (Recovery)

DESCRIPTION
The value of the "Environment" variable identifies the directory where a
recovery file resides. The administrator specifies the value of "Environment" in
the Sun MTP VSAM Configuration Table (VCT). 


VALUES
"Environment" displays the name of the environment variable, not the value of
the environment variable. The value of "Environment" may be retrieved on the
system running Sun MTP. On a UNIX system, it can be retrieved using the following
at the UNIX prompt:

$ echo $VARIABLE_NAME

where VARIABLE_NAME is the value displayed by the "Environment" datapoint. Note
that this datapoint shows nothing when recovery is not active. This is the case
when the "Filename" datapoint says "Not Active".


INTERPRETATION
"Environment" specifies the actual directory where the recovery file resides. 
The value of "Environment" must be a valid directory pathname. The full pathname 
of the recovery file is "Filename" concatenated to the end of the value of 
"Environment". The recovery file can be easily moved by changing the value of 
"Environment" in the VCT.


CONCLUSIONS
"Environment" has no meaning for a 'Native' recovery file. For such a file, the 
"Filename" specifies the complete pathname of the actual device (for UNIX, the
device name is a file in the file system, usually in /dev). 'Native' recovery
is not supported for Windows NT systems.
