$OLD_LIB_PATH

Use the pre-V6 search sequence for libraries of global variables.

$OLD_LIB_PATH

Defaults

Assignment file: Client assignment file
Section: [SETTINGS]
Default value: None

Description

$OLD_LIB_PATH causes an application to use a search path for libraries of global variables that is more compatible with the pre-V6 search path. When $OLD_LIB_PATH is present, Uniface searches for global variables in these libraries:

  1. Form library, if one was specified.
  2. SYSTEM_LIBRARY.

Caution: $OLD_LIB_PATH should only be used in a (client) runtime environment. It should never be used in an assignment file which is used by the Uniface IDE.

When $OLD_LIB_PATH is not present, Uniface searches for global variables in the following libraries:

  1. SYSTEM_LIBRARY.
  2. Library specified on the application shell.
  3. Library specified on the form.
