Note These functions retrieve values from any INI files loaded in memory. The system typically loads the FSIUSER.INI file first, which tells it to then load the FSISYS.INI file. If the same control group and option appear in more than one location in the files, these functions retrieve the value first defined.

See Using INI Options for a list of the DAL-related INI control groups and options.
