SYMPTOM(s):
RBSTART.PF in inifile is ignored
Report Builder
CAUSE:
If you start a Report Builder session from inside a Progress session, the -ininame parameter you might have used when you started the Progress session is not used. You can use the -ininame parameter only if you start Report Builder from the Report Builder icon in the Progress group.
Another reason could be that the pf file is not named with its default name (RBSTART.PF), or it is not located is the DLC directory. In all this cases the pf file is not used by Report Builder.
FIX:
In all this cases in order to have Report Builder use an ini file and and a pf file, you have to define an environment variable called RBSTARTUP that specifies the location and name of the parameter file to use. This environment variable should be defined at the operating system level (autoexec.bat).
An example of this process:
If you want to have Report Builder use an ini file called C:\REPT.INI and want to use a Report Builder parameter file called C:\MYREPT.PF to specify that, take the following steps:
1) Put this statement in their autoexec.bat:
SET RBSTARTUP = C:\MYREPT.PF
2) Create the file called C:\MYREPT.PF and put this line in it:
-ininame c:\rept.ini
3) Make sure there are no files called progress.ini in the working directory, the DLC\bin directory or the Windows directory.
