PRB: SET("LIBRARY") Does Not Return Path InformationID: Q109479 2.50 MACINTOSH kbprb The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSThe function SET("LIBRARY") does not return the path information for .MLB files. RESOLUTIONMacintosh library files can only be located in the System:Extensions folder, so the path will always be the same. To get the Extensions folder path, use the FoxTools library function FxSystem(1). For example: SET LIBRARY TO FOXTOOLS
SET LIBRARY TO FOXDOC ADDITIVE
m.var = SET("LIBRARY")
? FxSystem(1) + ":" + SUBSTR( m.var, 1, AT( ",", m.var ) - 1 )
This will print the following path: Macintosh HD:System Folder:Extensions:FOXTOOLS.MLB MORE INFORMATIONSteps to Reproduce BehaviorIn the Command window, type the following: SET LIBRARY TO FOXTOOLS
SET LIBRARY TO FOXDOC ADDITIVE
? SET("LIBRARY")
The following will be printed on the screen: FOXTOOLS.MLB, FOXDOC.MLB This behavior differs from that of FoxPro for Windows and FoxPro for MS-DOS, which return the complete path to the library files. For example, the following is returned in FoxPro for Windows: C:\FOXPROW\FOXTOOLS.FLL, C:\FOXPROW\FOXDOC.FLL Additional reference words: FoxMac 2.50b KBCategory: kbprb KBSubcategory: Keywords : kbcode kbprb Version : 2.50 Platform : MACINTOSH |
