Syntax

WORKPATH=path(s)

Argument

path(s)

a complete pathname in single or double quotation marks within parentheses. It separates multiple paths with spaces. Here is an example: 

workpath=('/work1/spds123'
          '/work2/spds123'
          '/work3/spds123'
          '/work4/spds123')

Details

The WORKPATH= setting in the libnames.parm parameter file does not apply only to the domain. The WORKPATH= setting in the libnames.parm parameter file overrides the WORKPATH= value in the spdsserv.parm parameter file to become the new global setting for the server.
The WORKPATH= setting is activated when a connection is made to the domain. The last server connection that specifies a domain that has a WORKPATH= setting sets the global working path for all other connections. Consult the server log to see which WORKPATH= is in use.
