variable

is the name of an environment variable to be deactivated.

Use colon ( : ) symbols between consecutive variable names. For example, to ignore the DBPATH and DBMONEY entries in the environment-configuration files, enter the following command:

setenv ENVIGNORE DBPATH:DBMONEY 

The common environment-configuration file is stored in $INFORMIXDIR/etc/informix.rc.

The private environment-configuration file is stored in the user's home directory as .informix.

For information on creating or modifying an environment-configuration file, see Setting Environment Variables in a Configuration File.

ENVIGNORE itself cannot be set in an environment-configuration file.
