Regional Parameter Files
A useful technique for controlling a Progress client session or server is to use a parameter file (.pf) with a startup or connection command. Progress provides parameter files that set up Progress sessions appropriately for a wide range of countries. You can use .pf files to specify the correct code-page settings for international applications. The setup of the install-path
/startup.pf
file is based on the installation options that you select.The international parameter files are located in the
$DLC/prolang
subdirectories. Parameter files are region- or country-specific rather than language-specific because parameter files set options that can vary from country to country. The$DLC/prolang/ger
directory has parameter files for Austria, Germany, and Switzerland to account for the differences among these German-speaking countries.You should use the parameter file to make sure that the application and database are using the appropriate international settings. Typically, a parameter file for a internationalized application sets the parameters listed in Table B–3.
NOTE: You can also use parameter files with Progress utilities, for example, PROSHUT and PROUTIL.
