GOAL:
Are comment lines allowed in parameter files ( .pf)
GOAL:
How do you add comments into parameter files?
GOAL:
How should comments be added to a parameter file?
GOAL:
Will Progress ignore an entry in a parameter file that starts with # or must the entry be deleted from the file?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge 10.1x
FIX:
Comments within Parameter files ( .pf ) can be made by adding the "#" symbol prior to the comment. An example of this can be seen by looking at $DLC/startup.pf. $DLC is a UNIX environment variable associated with where OpenEdge is installed on a machine. %DLC% is the Windows equivalent of this environment variable. The following is an excerpt of this file taken from a machine where OpenEdge is installed:
#This is a placeholder startup.pf
#You may put any global startup parameters you desire
#in this file. They will be used by ALL Progress modules
#including the client, server, utilities, etc.
#
#The file dlc/prolang/locale.pf provides examples of
#settings for the different options that vary internationally.
#
#The directories under dlc/prolang contain examples of
#startup.pf settings appropriate to each region.
#For example, the file dlc/prolang/ger/german.pf shows
#settings that might be used in Germany.
#The file dlc/prolang/ger/geraus.pf gives example settings
#for German-speaking Austrians.
#
#Copy the file that seems appropriate for your region or language
#over this startup.pf. Edit the file to meet your needs.
#
# e.g. UNIX: cp /dlc/prolang/ger/geraus.pf /dlc/startup.pf
# e.g. DOS, WINDOWS: copy \dlc\prolang\ger\geraus.pf \dlc\startup.pf
#
# You may want to include these same settings in /dlc/ade.pf.
#
#If the directory for your region or language does not exist in
#dlc/prolang, please check that you have ordered AND installed the
#International component. The International component provides
#these directories and files.
