SYMPTOM(s):
Problem using the Alternate Layout menu option in the UIB to test code in a character environment
The Alternate Layout menu option in the UIB - both character and GUI environment - does not transfer environment variable settings.
CAUSE:
After creating a piece of code, you can click on the Alternate Layout menu option, the UIB opens a new dos window where you can test the code you created against a character environment. As a result if you started your progress GUI session specifying certain environment variables, they will
not apply to the new dos window, the new dos window is a new session of progress. The environment variables are not transferred to the new session.
FIX:
The environment variables you want to use have to be set globally for the machine you are developing on. Now all sessions of progress will use the same
environment variables, unless you go in and manually change them for a specific session.
