The catalog and schema you have set are in effect until the end of your session or until 
you execute another SET CATALOG or SET SCHEMA command.
The Elements of Your Session Environment
Note. All examples in this guide assume that you have already set the correct names for the 
catalog and schema, as appropriate, at the beginning of your session.
CURRENT DIRECTORY  Path name of the current server directory.
It can be changed by using the cd command.
HOME DIRECTORY  The default directory.
LIST_COUNT Current setting of this session option.
LOG FILE File to which MXCI logs your session activity. MXCI writes the 
commands you enter and the output produced by the commands to 
the log file. For example, a SELECT command and the rows 
selected by the command are written to the log file. You specify the 
log file in a LOG command. You can request that only commands be 
logged.
