STARTUP-PARAMETERS attribute of the SESSION system handle

Debugging and Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Resources : Other Diagnostics Resources : Run-time diagnostics : Analyzing ABL code : STARTUP-PARAMETERS attribute of the SESSION system handle

Use the STARTUP-PARAMETERS attribute of the SESSION system handle to obtain a comma-separated list of all startup parameters specified for the current OpenEdge session. The character string returned includes startup parameters from the following potential sources:

Default startup parameter file ($DLC/startup.pf)

File specified by the $PROSTARTUP environment variable

Startup parameters specified on the command line

Startup parameters specified in a parameter file (.pf)

The following example shows the STARTUP-PARAMETERS attribute output generated by executing execlog.p. (See also Run-timediagnostics.)

Sample STARTUP-PARAMETERS output

-pf C:\Progress\OpenEdge\startup.pf,-cpinternal ISO8859-1,-cpstream
ISO8859-1,-cpcoll Basic,-cpcase Basic,-d mdy,-numsep 44,-numdec 46,
(end .pf),-db sports,-1

See OpenEdge Development: ABL Reference for detailed information on the STARTUP-PARAMETERS attribute.
