I am a bit confused as to why you want your program in the
same folder as your data sets, and what your problem really is.
Use the full path to access the data files and you shouldn't have
to move your program.
If you need to programmatically create or find the data files,
that is certainly possible.
You can search for your data files and create an array of them.
check out the file_search() help, here's an example
Result = FILE_SEARCH(!DIR, '*', /TEST_DIRECTORY)
will recursively search the main directory given by !DIR
(for me it is C:\Program Files\ITT\IDL\IDL80)
and it find all the files located there under all subdirectories.
For instance:
C:\Program Files\ITT\IDL\IDL80\bin
C:\Program Files\ITT\IDL\IDL80\bin\bin.x86
C:\Program Files\ITT\IDL\IDL80\bin\bin.x86\configuration
C:\Program Files\ITT\IDL\IDL80\bin\bin.x86\dicomex
... etc
cheers,
