The full directory path to the current data directory.
Examples
Given you are using /home/dbetl as the root folder for your JCL installation, this function will return /home/dbetl/data/. When you configure JCL you can name the data dir something other than “data” if you choose to do so.
my $path = sys_get_path_data_dir(); log_info( "Path to bin is $path" );
Job Configuration File
There no job conf entries used by this function.
Additional Notes
A typical JCL installation will have a data folder, inside of the data folder will be other folders for storing data files. A typical installation will have a previous folder, a load folder, an extract folder, and a publish folder. You have the ability to name these folders any way you want when you configure the JCL package. This function returns the high-level data directory path.
