PROPATH tab (Application)
The PROPATH tab in the Progress OpenEdge Application section of the Configurations wizard lets you control where OpenEdge searches for files and procedures when the launch configuration runs. See Progress OpenEdge Application settings for information about accessing the wizard.
The PROPATH tab functions like the PROPATH tab in the Project Properties dialog, with two additional command buttons (Add Project and Copy ini Settings) available:
Control
Purpose
Name (accessible from all tabs)
(Required) Specifies the name of the launch configuration, which appears on menus and in the left pane of the Configurations wizard.
Tree view
Shows the current PROPATH definition.
Add Project
Opens a browser that lets you select a project from which to import PROPATH settings. OpenEdge copies the PROPATH of the project you choose to the selected location in the launch configuration PROPATH.
Copy ini Settings
Opens a browser that lets you select an INI file from which to import PROPATH settings. OpenEdge replaces the entire existing PROPATH with the PROPATH defined in the selected initialization file.
Other command buttons
Function as described in the PROPATH help for the Project Properties dialog.
Apply

Revert
Saves the current launch configuration definition.
Run or Debug

Close
Closes the Configurations wizard.
Note: This tab does not support the use of the OpenEdge @{ROOT} substitution variable. However, OpenEdge variables such as @WORK and @DLC are supported. In addition, the Eclipse substitution variables (Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > String Substitution) are supported.
