INI

Specifies the default directives file.

Note: Supported by all mfims imsdbu functions.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.-------INI--(filespec)--.-----><
   +-/-+ +.----.-INI--------------+
          +-NO-+

Parameters:

filespec: The name and location of the .INI file containing directives that will override the IMSDBU programmed defaults. filespec can include a drive and/or directory if required. If you do not specify a drive or directory, IMSDBU looks for the named .INI file in the current directory.

Properties:

Default:

None

Comments:

Directives listed in the .INI file override the IMSDBU programmed defaults. Directives entered on the command line or interactive screen override directives in the .INI file.

Specifying NOINI prevents any .INI file from overriding the programmed defaults.

If you specify an .INI that does not exist, the programmed default directives are used as if NOINI were specified.

An .INI file is an ASCII text file. mfims imsdbu directives are identified by the heading [IMSDBU], starting in column 1. The list of directives follows this heading. Only one directive is allowed per line. A line is terminated by the next heading or an end-of-file. Comment lines are indicated by an asterisk (*) or semi-colon (;) in column 1. For example:

[IMSDBU]
PROGRESS(1000)
;use local log
LOG(C:\MYDIR\MYDB.LOG)
