Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Managing 4GL Applications

> ## Distributing procedure files

> Procedure files are files that contain Progress source code (`.p`) or run code (`.r`). Store procedure files in those directories that OpenEdge can access most rapidly, preferably on a local hard disk attached to each application workstation or OpenEdge AppServer machine.

> Once you have distributed your procedure files, modify the `PROPATH` environment variable in the startup files on each application workstation to include the directory search path that contains those files. The following example sets the `PROPATH` environment variable to the working directory (`.`) and the `\ACCTPAY` directory on the `C:` drive of a Windows workstation:

>     SET PROPATH=.;C:\ACCTPAY

> In Windows, you can use the registry or `progress.ini` file to set this environment variable. For more information, see Chapter 4, " Maintaining User Environments."
