Get Data from the Client INI File

When the user is working in the Windows interface of ''Priority, you can retrieve information from the user's.ini'' file, by means of the TABINI program (which can be run from a form trigger or a procedure).

Note the following:

  • The first parameter is the section in the .ini file from which you want to retrieve data. For example, to retrieve data from [Environment], pass 'Environment' as the first parameter.
  • The second parameter is the line that you want to retrieve. For example, to get the path of the Priority directory, pass 'Priority Directory' as the second parameter.
  • The third parameter is a LINK file of GENERALLOAD to which the program writes the retrieved data – in the first line (LINE = 1), in the TEXT column.
  • If you pass empty strings as the first two parameters, the program will return the name of the .ini file itself.

Example:

SELECT SQL.TMPFILE INTO :A FROM DUMMY;
EXECUTE TABINI 'Environment', 'Tabula Host', :A;
LINK GENERALLOAD TO :A;
SELECT TEXT FROM GENERALLOAD WHERE LINE = 1 FORMAT;
UNLINK GENERALLOAD;
