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. For more information, see the "Installation Path Directory Structure" section in "The Progress Directory Structure."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 D–3.
NOTE: You can also use parameter files with Progress utilities, for example, PROSHUT and PROUTIL.
