Location of un-named "scratch" files

[rickvanh]

I have not been able to find any documention about where F95.57 writes "scratch" files. (OPEN statement without FILE= and STATUS="scratch")

I would assume it would write in current directory.

However, we just upgraded from 95.0 to 95.57, and users are now getting "access denied" messages. I have traced the problem to the OPEN statement for the "scratch" file.

Did 95.57 change the default location of "scratch" files, or did our LAN folks change the rights on our servers?

Thanks!

It looks like scratch files are written to the directory pointed to by the "TEMP" environment variable. Under newer Windows OS's this might point to a different directory for different users.
I don't have a v5.0 handy, but this behaviour is the same for versions 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7.
