Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
TMPDIR environment variable disappears when using the pro command.
Running progress after setting the TMPDIR environment variable, the statement:
DISPLAY OS-GETENV("TMPDIR").
displays the unknown value '?'
If I shell out to linux without from the Procedure Editor and executing:
echo $TMPDIR
displays nothing!
Exiting the Progress Session and executing:
echo $TMPDIR
from the command prompt displays the correct value.
Same behavior observed using several flavors of Linux.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Linux Intel
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
CAUSE:
Bug #OE00101832
FIX:
A workaround is not to run the _progres executable owned by root and to copy it to another directory as yourself making the _progres executable not owned by root anymore, then the TMPDIR value will be preserved. Progress development is continuing its investigation of this issue.
