### DPATH Environment Variable (OS/2)

When you run an executable program, unless you have bound the run-time messages files to the executable file using the MSGBIND utility, the run-time messages files must be either in your current directory or in one of the directories specified by the DPATH or NLSPATH variable.

Use the set command on the command line or in your config.sys file to set the DPATH variable. For example, the following statement tells a program to search the current directory, followed by directory C:\kevin and then directory D\:michel:

> `DPATH=C:\kevin;D:\michel`
