#load

I have a #load.lsp function , because I have another function that calls it however every time I load it i get the following message : ; error: bad argument type: stringp nil


the function definition is the following ! any idea what is wrong with it ?


; #load - (function loader) - v10.2 - (c) 1990 Richard D. Howard
; loads function specified as par1
;
; parameters:
; par1 = file to load
;
; returns:
; return = value of last file statement
; return = nil = load failed
;
; functions:
; #filef = findfile util
;

(if #filef ; if not function
nil
(progn
(setq temp (strcat (getenv "lisp_lib") "#filef")) ; load function
(load temp)
);progn
);if

(defun #load (file / temp)
(if (setq temp (#filef (strcat file ".lsp"))) ; if it exists
(setq temp (load temp)) ; load it
);if
temp ; return value
);#iload

 

Problem may be: (getenv "lisp_lib") - IF environment variable
"lisp_lib" is not defined / set to a value..To check it:
(setq z (getenv "lisp_lib"))
IF echo is nil, that variable is not set..
IF echo is a string - filepath - then that is not the problem.

I ran the command and I got nil, so I guess that is the problem. what should I do to fix it? can you be brief please
thanks

The environment variable(s) are sometimes defined in the
C:\autoexec.bat file - not always. Check there for 'lisp_lib'.
IF not there, check your .mnl file for (setenv "lisp_lib" ...)
IF not there, ask your IT person to check it out.
