272.0. "A logical for temporary files?" by SKYWAY::HONEGGER () Wed Feb 22 1989 11:34

    Hi,
    	I'm running DECwindows and DECwrite ia a local area VAXcluster
    with local disks for paging and swapping. The DECwrite application
    creates temporary files (journal files) which I also want to store
    locally. All other user data, however should be stored on the
    boot-node. The question is now: Is there a logical, I can define
    in order to direct temporary files onto a certain device and directory?
    
    Thanking for help!
    
    Regards!

	Try defining SYS$SCRATCH to point to the alternate location. If that doesn't work, ask in the DECwrite conference, QUEEN::EPIC. Steve

	DECwrite journals are explicitly created in the default directory. If that doesn't work, they're created in the document's directory. If that doesn't work, we punt. John
