How to get the INI file name used at runtime
INTRODUCTION:
=============
This knowledgebase entry describes a way to determine what INI file
is being used at runtime.
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
===========================
You may need to know this if your program needs to do special
processing depending on what INI file was loaded at startup.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
1) Modify your startup procedure so that it includes the -param
startup parameter. This parameter must duplicate the value
that is specified in the -ininame startup parameter.
Example:
pro sports -1 -ininame c:\xxx\my.ini -param c:\xxx\my.ini
2) In your program, you can use the SESSION:PARAMETER attribute to
see what INI file name was used to startup the session. Given
the example shown above, the SESSION:PARAMETER attribute will
contain the string "c:\xxx\my.ini".
Please note that this is the only way to determine what non-default
INI file (if any) was used to startup Progress. There is no HLC or
DLL call that you can make within Progress to get this information.
