Re: multiple directories in 4gl

Quoting Kim Wilson... } } I have a question. I hope someone can help me with it. } If I have a directory (dbfiles) which contains all of the files for my } 4gl program EXCEPT .4gl and .sql files. These files are contained in } 2 subdirectories (dbfiles/files_4gl and dbfiles/files_sql). What do } you suggest is the best way to handle this. We have tried setting the } DBPATH to the database directory (dbfiles in this case). When we } tried compiling the program, it failed because it couldn't find the } forms. The program was compiled from the dbfiles/files_4gl directory. } I don't even know if this is do-able or not, but the result we were } shooting for was to be able to have all the forms in one directory, } and all the programs in another while still being able to run the } program correctly. This is being run on an hp/apollo system using } version 4.0 of informix standard engine. Any help would be greatly } appreciated. } I'm confused... how could a compile fail just because the forms are not in the current directory? At runtime you would get an error if the forms weren't in the current directory or a directory listed in DBPATH, but not at compile time. Anyway, to answer your question, try setting the following: PATH=$PATH:/where_your_executables_are DBPATH=:/where_your_database_is:/where_your_forms_are DAS -- David Snyder @ Snide Computer Services - Folcroft, PA Current Release is db4glgen-3.7 UUCP: ..!uunet!das13!dave INTERNET: dave.snyder@snide.com
