Variable
PATH – A list of directory paths
separated by semicolons.
When you run a program or
batch file, the system searches
for it in the current directory.
Then it searches in the directory
paths defined in PATH in the
order they are mentioned.
Your PATH should include any
directory pathname that
contains a program or batch file
you want to run. Also, each
directory pathname should
include the drive letter of the
disk that contains the directory.
PATH is a system environment
variable, not an OpenEdge
environment variable. Set it in a
manner appropriate for the
operating system instead of in
the registry or in
progress.ini.
Different OpenEdge products
require different PATH settings.
To set up PATH for your
OpenEdge product, follow the
instructions provided in the
“Reviewing the Windows
installation directory structure”
section on page 85.
OEBUILD [Startup] The pathname of the directory
that contains items referenced
in link scripts produced by the
OEBUILD utility. By default, the
installation utility sets this
variable.
PROCFG [Startup]
[WinChar
Startup]
Progress.ini
file section Description Example
The filename (or full pathname)
of your product’s configuration
file. The configuration file is a
data file that identifies the
OpenEdge products and
components that you are
licensed to use. Reset PROCFG if
you have moved your
configuration file from the
directory where you installed
OpenEdge.
