Stored procedures
Returns the full path of the directory of HFSQL data files specified by the user when installing the application.
Remark: This directory does not necessarily correspond to the real directory of the data files at runtime (that may have been modified by HSubstDir, HChangeDir, ...).
Example
// Create a .INI file
INIDir is string
IF fDataDir() <> "" THEN
INIDir = fDataDir() + ["\"] + "MYPROJET.INI"
ELSE
INIDir = "MYPROJECT.INI"
END
INIWrite("SECTION", "ALREADYRUN", "YES", INIDir)
Syntax
<Result> = fDataDir()
<Result>: Character string
  • Full path (for example: "D:\DATA\Rewali") or UNC path (for example: "\\SERVER\DATA\Rewali") of the directory for the HFSQL data files.
  • Result of fExeDir if no directory was specified during the setup (in test mode and when running an executable without setup).
Remarks
WINDEVUser code (UMC)

Miscellaneous

  • If HSubstDir is used in the code of the application, the directory specified by the user during the setup will be ignored.
  • If the data files are described in the analysis with a specific directory (not recommended), this directory will not be taken into account. Only the directory specified by the user during the setup will be taken into account.
  • The fDataDir function is not equivalent to the Directory property.
Component: wd290vm.dll
Minimum version required
