Unable to locate help file prohelp/ editeng.hlp fix propath
DRAFT COPY - Currently under review and edit.
INTRODUCTION:
=============
In VMS version 7.2exx many times the message:
Unable to locate help file "prohelp/editeng.hlp"
is displayed when you quit progress, also some dictionary tools
seem unaccessible.
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
===========================
Most applications including data dictionary tools use "portable"
pathnames if they run subprograms; specifying OS native style
propath can sometimes give file access conflicts:
Specifying propath in "Progress" syntax makes code really portable.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
If on VMS your Progress 7 was installed: DKB0:[PRO72E02.DLC]
Then dlc should: define
olog dlc DKB0:[PRO72E02.DLC]
and define propath as follows:
define propath ",/dkb0/pro72e02/dlc,/dkb0/pro72e02/dlc/tty"
(Use double quotes and add the main path of the user application)
Check also there is at least read access to all dictionary procedures.
The following VMS commands guarantee access to all files:
set default dlc
set file /prot=w:re [...]*.*
ONLINE PROCEDURES OR UTILITIES:
===============================
help define
help set file/prot
