Using INI Options

Control control group

Enter No to maintain the defined target variables and their contents from the previous form set.

The default is Yes, which tells the system to delete DAL target variables between form set processing.

Enter the cutoff year for determining the century. For instance, if you enter 50 for this option, the system assumes a two-digit year greater than or equal to 50 should be prefaced by 19.

If you omit this option, the system assumes the current century when it encounters a two-digit year. All internal date manipulation is performed using four-digit years.

DAL control group

Enter a period and an extension. The default is DAL.

Use this option to define the file extension used for external DAL scripts and file names.

DALFunctions control group

This option defines the DLL-based DAL functions that are automatically registered and made available to the scripts executed in the session. This option is used by the DAL runtime tool (DALRUN).

DALLibraries control group

Enter Yes to compile each DAL library file when loaded. In situations where you are processing a lot of transactions and you have a lot of DAL functions which are used during processing, this can speed performance. The default is No.

Use this option to specify the DAL library file to be loaded. You can specify multiple files. There is no default for this option.

The system sends the output to the file you specified with the TraceFile option in the Data control group or your default trace file.
