Having a weird behavior with the SET command as I can'r seem to change any option. Just launching from the shell using the "basex" script, I can GET but not SET. I must be doing something obviously wrong.... This is with 7.6 on MacOSX.
BaseX 7.6 [Standalone] Try help to get more information.
GET DBPATH
DBPATH: /Applications/basex/data
SET DBPATH /Users/Pascal/BaseXData
Unknown option 'DBPATH'.
GET LANG
LANG: English
SET LANG French
Unknown option 'LANG'.
Also tried: basex -c "SET DBPATH /Users/Pascal/BaseXData" but same results.
Dear Pascal,
there is one little hint in the documentation, take a look here " http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Commands#SET". It says "Only local options can be modified.". Both of these options are global, so you can not change them using SET (you can use the .basex config file or system properties, see http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Options). However, I totally understand that you missed this information in the doc as it is quite hidden. Additionally, the error feedback is quite misleading. I would opt for a slightly changed error message like "Unknown local option X" as it gives the user an indication that there are local/global options and this is not a local one.
Cheers, Dirk

Dirk: Ah, yes, read the docs! For once I actually did.... but missed the nuance :-) In this particular case, I would suggest if possible changing the error message to "This value cannot be SET. Only local options can be modified." , to differentiate from "Unknown Option". Thanks for pointing this out, much appreciated. best *P
