about compilation

Posted by Admin on 06-Mar-2008 23:02

Hiiii Everyone,

When we enter into application compiler we can see a "." at the files column and "*.p" in the types.....

if we dont enter anything and just press "start compile" what hppens??? will there be any .p files which get compiled.

I know that if we select a directory and give types column as "*.p", all the .p files in the given directory will get compiled.

The "." represents the working directory of the progress session. That's the directory the prowin32.exe or _progres has been launched from. On Windows it's the "Run in" entry in the shortcut.

From the Procedure-Editor you may run

FILE-INFO:FILE-NAME = ".".

MESSAGE FILE-INFO:FULL-PATHNAME VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.

do display the directory name. By default the working directory and all sub directories will be compiled.
