Defining the message file

The OPTIONS HELP FILE instruction defines the name of the message file.

Syntax

OPTIONS HELP FILE filename

Usage

The OPTIONS HELP FILE instruction specifies an expression that returns the filename of a help file. This filename can also include a pathname. Messages in this file can be referenced by number in form-related statements, and are displayed at runtime when the user presses the Help key.

By default, message files are searched in the current directory, then DBPATH / FGLRESOURCEPATH environment variable is scanned to find the file.
