OpenEdge stores temporary debug listing files in either your current working directory or the temporary directory specified by the Temporary Directory (-T) startup parameter. For more information on how and when OpenEdge automatically generates debug listings, see Procedure files and listing generation . For more information on the Temporary Directory startup parameter, see the reference entry in OpenEdge Deployment: Startup Command and Parameter Reference.
