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.
Thanks for the information Mike Fechner .
