Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Query/Results for UNIX

> ## Configuration file (.qc file)

> The `.qc` file is the configuration file that contains the list of permissions, printers, joins, and so forth. By default, Results tries to create the `.qc` file in the same directory that contains the database (`dbname``.db`). However, if the database is on another machine, Results might not be able to reach that directory. In that case, Results places the `.qc` file in the current directory. Once Results creates the `.qc` file, you can move it anywhere in your `PROPATH`. However, you must move the `.ql` file to the same directory. (For information about the `.ql` file, see the "Query log file (.ql file)" section.)

> When you start Results, it first looks for the `.qc` file in the current directory. If it cannot find it there, it looks for it in the `PROPATH`. Because it takes time to read the `.qc` file, Results has a feature called fast load. This feature consists of several files called `res` `xxxxx``.r`, where `x` is an integer.

> These compiled routines automatically load all of the configuration information at startup. The files load information so Results does not have to read the entire `.qc` file each time a user starts it. They are automatically created when you first build the query interface (at start up) and each time you leave the Administration module.

> You can place the `.qc` file and the fast load routines anywhere in your `PROPATH`.
