DBPATH

Defines the paths to search for Genero program resource files.

For IBM^® Informix^® 4GL compatibility, DBPATH is used by the runtime system to find resource files such as form definitions.

Important: The DBPATH environment variable is also used by the IBM Informix SE engine and SQLite, to define the path list to find database files. Genero has introduced the FGLRESOURCEPATH environment variable to not interfer with the database DBPATH settings. Consider dedicating DBPATH for database configurations, and use the FGLRESOURCEPATH to define program resource path list.

When FGLRESOURCEPATH is not defined, DBPATH environment variable is used to define the search paths for:

Form files loaded (.42f),
Message files (.iem),
Action defaults files (.4ad),
Presentation styles files (.4st),
Start menu files (.4sm),
Toolbar files (.4tb),
Topmenu files (.4tm),
Compiled localized strings files (.42s).

By the default, the runtime system looks for resource files is the current directory.

DBPATH must contain a list of paths, separated by the operating system specific path separator.

The path separator is platform specific ( ":" on UNIX™ platforms and ";" on Windows™ platforms).
