Progress Installation Directory

Hi All,

Is there any way to fetch the progress installation directory (Directory where Progress is installed)?

MESSAGE ENTRY( NUM-ENTRIES( PROPATH ), PROPATH ) VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.

Will give you the 'bin' directory.

You don't tell anything about the OS this is running on and for which task you need to "fetch" it. The solution Stefan proposed will work within an ABL procedure only.

We use os-getenv("DLC") for that.
Not sure if this covers all setups.

Hi All,

First of all thanks for your replies. I have overcome with this question...

To check the installation directory i am using the following code:-

DEFINE VARIABLE cDLC AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.

ASSIGN cDLC = OS-GETENV("DLC").


IF cDLC = ? THEN
GET-KEY-VALUE SECTION "Startup" KEY "DLC" VALUE cDLC.

Its working fine for every environment..

But will fail in a Windows environment with more than one Progress version installed - which is why I use the last propath entry.
