When starting a Dynamic 4GL login session using startwtk (by way of an icon created via "Add a WTK connection") or starting an application program from a command line customised from once of these, where is the most appropriate place to automatically set the environment variables for the session? I notice that some WTK environment variables get set by 4glsrvi1.ini - is it possible/ desirable to set things like FGLDIR, PATH, FGLLDPATH, DBPATH etc from a similar place? Thanks, -Andy- Redland, Bristol

Hi, There is an "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES SECTION" in fglprofile file. You can set things like: fglrun.setenv.0 = "DBCENTURY=C" fglrun.setenv.1 = "DBMONEY=." fglrun.setenv.2 = "DBFORMAT=:,:.:" On Sat, 20 Feb 1999 8:21 +0000 (GMT Standard Time), andykent@cix.co.uk (Andy Kent) wrote: >When starting a Dynamic 4GL login session using startwtk (by way of an >icon created via "Add a WTK connection") or starting an application >program from a command line customised from once of these, where is the >most appropriate place to automatically set the environment variables for >the session? > >I notice that some WTK environment variables get set by 4glsrvi1.ini - is >it possible/ desirable to set things like FGLDIR, PATH, FGLLDPATH, DBPATH >etc from a similar place? > >Thanks, > >-Andy- >Redland, Bristol Thanks a lot, Manel Falcó SEMIC, S.A.

Fine - but where is the best place to tell it which fglprofile file to use...? -Andy- In article <36ce78d0.621162@news.bcn.ttd.net>, manel@semic.es (Manel Falc') wrote: > Hi, > There is an "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES SECTION" in fglprofile file. > You can set things like: > > fglrun.setenv.0 = "DBCENTURY=C" > > fglrun.setenv.1 = "DBMONEY=." > > fglrun.setenv.2 = "DBFORMAT=:,:.:" > > > > > On Sat, 20 Feb 1999 8:21 +0000 (GMT Standard Time), andykent@cix.co.uk > (Andy Kent) wrote: > > >When starting a Dynamic 4GL login session using startwtk (by way of an > >icon created via "Add a WTK connection") or starting an application > >program from a command line customised from once of these, where is > the >most appropriate place to automatically set the environment > variables for >the session? > > > >I notice that some WTK environment variables get set by 4glsrvi1.ini - > is >it possible/ desirable to set things like FGLDIR, PATH, FGLLDPATH, > DBPATH >etc from a similar place? > > > >Thanks, > > > >-Andy- > >Redland, Bristol > > > Thanks a lot, > > Manel Falc' > SEMIC, S.A. > Lleida-Catalonia-Spain-Europe > ----------------------------------------------------- > Informix version: Informix SE 5.07 / RDS 4.x & 4J's > Operating system: Unix SCO V 5.04 > ----------------------------------------------------- >
