Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

> ## Property value

> Table 10–2 identifies the value types you can use with the `mergeprop` utility to manage property files. These property files allow you to:

> - Use the value of another existing property by reference.

> - Specify a list of any number of syntactically valid values. The list entries are evaluated sequentially, and the first to be successfully resolved is the value of the property.

> - Specify a hexadecimal value.

> In addition, two special value types can be included in the delta file specified with the `mergeprop` utility. (See the "Delta file" section.) These value types are valid only in the context of a delta file:

> - A value formed by appending a specified string to a current value.

> - A system-generated globally unique identifier (UUID, or universally unique ID).
