Controlling the z/OS UNIX execution path (PATH)

You must update the PATH environment variable for your location so that it includes Infoprint XT directories. Typically, you specify the PATH environment variable in the /etc/profile file. This makes the path information available to users on the system who have access to z/OS UNIX. The Infoprint XT directories that you must add are:
  • /usr/lpp/pdxt/V3R3M0/local. This is the directory in which you put the customized, Infoprint XT executable files for your installation. For example, this is the directory in which you would put any compiled application exits that you write, and that you want Infoprint XT to use. Do not store other files, such as source files for customized executables, in this directory. Infoprint XT provides for a separate directory, /usr/lpp/pdxt/V3R3M0/localsrc, in which you can store your customized source files.
  • /usr/lpp/pdxt/V3R3M0/bin. This is the path to the binary executable files that Infoprint XT provides.
For more information about defining PATH values and the order in which z/OS UNIX System Services uses the values that you specify, see z/OS UNIX System Services Planning for your version of z/OS UNIX System Services.
