Configuration File

The default filename for the File Handler configuration file is extfh.cfg but you can use a different filename by setting the EXTFH environment variable. For example:

Windows: 
set EXTFH=c:\mydir\test.cfg
sets the filename to c:\mydir\test.cfg.
UNIX: 
EXTFH=/mydir/test.cfg 
export EXTFH
sets the filename to /mydir/test.cfg.

The File Handler searches for the configuration file in the following order:

Windows:

  1. The file specified by the EXTFH variable.
  2. The file extfh.cfg in the current directory.
  3. The file %COBDIR%\etc\extfh.cfg.

UNIX:

  1. The file specified by the EXTFH variable.
  2. The file $COBDIR/etc/extfh.cfg.
  3. The file extfh.cfg in the current directory.
