Progress 4GL Reference

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

Notes

Progress stores the PROPATH as a comma-separated list of directories. (Progress 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 .
