The
Directory property is used to manage the physical directory of HFSQL files. This property takes into account the possible changes of directory performed by
HChangeDir or
HSubstDir. You can:
- Identify the physical directory of a data file defined in the data model editor or through programming.
- Define a physical directory for a data file (when the file is described through programming).
// Find out the name and full path of the Customer data file
NameAndFullPath is string
NameAndFullPath = Customer.Directory + "\" + ...
Customer.PhysicalName + Customer.Extension
// NameAndFullPath corresponds to "C:\MyFiles\Customer.Fic"
