PROPATH function

Returns the current value of the PROPATH environment variable.

Syntax

PROPATH

Example

This procedure first displays a comma-separated list of the directories in the current PROPATH. It then displays each directory in the current PROPATH, one per line.

r-ppath1.p

DEFINE VARIABLE ix AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.

DISPLAY PROPATH.

REPEAT ix = 1 TO NUM-ENTRIES(PROPATH):
  DISPLAY ENTRY(ix , PROPATH) FORMAT "x(30)".
END.

Notes

• ABL stores the PROPATH as a comma-separated list of directories. (ABL strips the operating-specific separation characters (a colon ( : ) on UNIX; a semicolon ( ; ) in Windows) and replaces them with commas.
• The default format for PROPATH is x(70).
• For more information on the PROPATH environment variable, see its reference entry in OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.
