Setting PROPATH

Progress contains an environmental variable called PROPATH which contains a list of directories that Progress searches to find procedures. In order to access your example programs without having to enter the complete path each time, you must add your prodoc directories to the PROPATH as follows:

  1. In the Procedure Editor, select Tools in the Menu Bar.
  2. Select PRO*Tools in the drop-down list.
  3. On the PRO*Tools Tool Buttons bar, select Propath, which is the button with the blue letters, .P, .W, and .R on the yellow swirl. The Propath Editor displays.
  4. In the Propath Editor, select the Add button. Enter the name of the directory where your sample programs reside, for example, C:\Progress\Wrk\prodoc\langtut, and select OK.
  5. Your new directory remains highlighted. Select the Move Down button and move your new directory below (current directory). You may rearrange your directories for more efficient searching.
  6. Select OK. An alert box will display. Select Yes to save this setting to your startup file.
