Details about SHOWCFG functions in Windows
SHOWCFG searches for the progress.cfg file in the locations defined as PROCFG and DLC in the progress.ini file. To find the progress.ini file, SHOWCFG searches the following locations, in the order shown:
1. The current working directory
2. The special users directory (set using the Properties option)
3. The Windows directory
If the utility finds the progress.cfg file, it displays the contents in the OpenEdge Configuration Information dialog box.
If SHOWCFG cannot find the progress.cfg file, the Open dialog box appears so you can specify the file's location. You can also use the Open dialog box to specify a different OpenEdge configuration file to display. To display the Open dialog box, choose the More button in the OpenEdge Configuration Information dialog box.
OpenEdge does not accept optional qualifiers that point to a .cfg file other than OpenEdge-install-dir:PROGRESS.CFG.
