Description
The DB_TMPDIR environment variable is used to define a directory or folder that will be used by the SYS(3) function for temporary file creation. If DB_TMPDIR is not defined, SYS(3) returns a unique file name without path information. Defining DB_TMPDIR causes this directory to be included in the return value from SYS(3). Please note that the DB_TMPDIR should include a trailing directory separator.
Example
? getenv([DB_TMPDIR]) /usr/tmp/ ? sys(3) /usr/tmp/000cf30006
