Does anyone have a good way of doing this? Currently I am setting an environment variable each time that I want to change the default location of my source code. We are using ClearCase and I have several views that I would like to build from at anytime. I have all of the build script using a cchome variable that I need to have a default value for as well as being able to set it from the command line. Thanks, Derek Gibbs
