Report Builder - How to set -yy startup parameter

In order for Report Builder to set -yy properly, -yy must be placed
as a startup parameter. (Beginning with Version 8.3A the
default -yy for Report Builder is 1950.)

Note that if you start Report Builder from the ADE Desktop it will not
inherit the -yy setting from the session.

For Version 8 and earlier, the -yy setting can go in the startup.pf
file. Starting in V8 the -yy can also go in the RB command line.
In Version 8.3 and higher you can point to the startup.pf file using
the Registry.

Details for each approach follow below.


SETTING -yy WITHIN THE PROGRESS.INI FILE
----------------------------------------

In Progress.ini you can use the PROSTARTUP environment variable
or RBSTARTUP to indicate what Report Builder startup file to use

PROSTARTUP = C:\WORK\rbyy.pf

-or-

RBSTARTUP = C:\WORK\rbyy.pf

When including the RBSTARTUP environment variable in the progress.ini
file, do so in the [RBStartup] section.

The .pf file should contain a -yy setting such as -yy 1950.


SETTING -yy ON THE REPORT BUILDER COMMAND LINE (Version 8 and up)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

example: c:\DLC\BIN\Prorb.exe -yy 1970


SETTING -yy IN VERSION 8.3+ USING THE REGISTRY
----------------------------------------------

When using the Registry in 32-bit MS-Windows, you should create a
RBSTARTUP folder in the Registry that points to the .pf file.

To do this run "regedit":

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
SOFTWARE
PSC
PROGRESSware Technical Support Note # 16855
8.3A (or the version you are working on) - While this is
highlighted, go to Menu
Edit -> New -> Key and enter RBStartup

Select RBStartup, go to Menu
Edit -> New -> String Value and enter RBSTARTUP

Double Click on RBSTARTUP and enter the directory and filename
for the rbyy.pf file. The .pf file should contain a -yy setting
such as -yy 1950.
