Installing PSSQR.INI

The pssqr.ini file is the initialization file for SQR for PeopleSoft . SQR uses the settings and parameters in this file during the compile and execution phases.

The installation process installs a default initialization file called pssqr.ini, which is located in the SQR directory under the <PS_CFG_HOME> directory. The installation process also installs files named pssqr<language_cd>.ini, which are used to create language-specific configurations.

Microsoft Windows Platforms

In Microsoft Windows, SQR looks for the initialization file in the following locations in this order:

  1. The file name specified by the -ZIF{file} command-line flag.

  2. The directory in which the executable image resides.

  3. The Microsoft Windows system directory.

z/OS

In z/OS, SQRINI is required during initialization. You must specify the dataset member &PSHLQ..SQRSRC(PSSQRINI) in the JCL to start the SQR process.

All Other Platforms

In all other platforms, SQR looks for the initialization file in the following locations in this order:

  1. The file name specified by the -ZIF{file} command-line flag.

  2. The current working directory.

  3. The directory specified using the SQRDIR environment variable.

    SQR automatically sets up SQRDIR.

You can make changes or additions to the pssqr.ini file.

This example shows the format of the pssqr.ini file:

; Comments are lines that start with a semicolon.  The semicolon
; must be the first character of the line and therefore cannot be
; part of another line.
;
; Leading and trailing space characters are ignored.  To preserve
; the space characters you must surround the value with either
; single (') or double (") quote characters.  SQR will remove
; them when the entry is processed.
