Generating Profiling Data for a 4GL Application

For Versions 9.0A and higher

There are two ways to generate profiling data for an application run:
generically using:

 Using profiler configaration file as follow:
On WINDOWS:
prowin32  -profile proconfigfile.txt  -pf startup.pf  -p test.p ...
On  UNIX:
_progres -profile proconfigfile.txt  -pf startup.pf  -p test.p ...

When -profile is specified, PROFILER:ENABLED will be initialized to True.
The configuration file proconfigfile.txt  may contain any or none of the following options.
A ‘#’ is the comment marker.
Everything to the end of the line after a ‘#’ is disregarded.
Note that all of the options here are described in terms of the PROFILER system handle:

Any error in the profile-configuration-file will result in Profiling being not enabled.
