Parameter File Format
The following is a sample parameter file:
The format of the parameter file is the same for all operating systems. Follow these rules when creating a parameter file:
- Place a parameter and its argument on the same line.
- Use a maximum of 40 tokens per line in a parameter file.
- Specify parameters with the UNIX syntax.
- Use a pound sign (#) to begin a comment. Progress ignores the rest of the line.
- Enclose a value in single (’) or double (“) quotes. Any white space inside the quotes is treated as part of the token.
- Any parameter not named in a parameter file receives a default value. To remind yourself of the default values, consider specifying all parameters and their values in the parameter file and adding the comment “# default” to those values that do not change.
- Use a tilde (~) to suppress the special meaning of the single (’) or double (“) quotes or tilde (~). A tilde also prefixes the control characters listed in Table 1–1 that Progress can recognize in a parameter file.
On UNIX, use the backslash (\) in place of a tilde.
