Example 1: Performing several directory substitutions (HFSQL files)

The following example is used to perform some directory substitutions:

for the files described in the "Current Directory"
for the files described in a specific directory (C:\File).

// Close all the files before changing directory
HClose("*")

// Change the directory for the files defined in
// the "current directory" in the analysis
HSubstDir(".", "d:\file")

// Change the directory for the files defined in
// a specific directory in the analysis
HSubstDir("c:\file", "d:\file")

// Open/Create the files in the new directory
HCreationIfNotFound("*")

Example 2: Changing the name of the database (OLE DB)

This example is used to change the name of the database.

The name of the database specified in the analysis is "c:\Access\MyDatabase.mdb". However, the name of the database may differ on the end-user computer (ex: "d:\My Documents\CustomerDatabase.mdb").

HSubstDir enables you to change the name of the database that will be used by all the OLEDB tables associated with a connection on the "c:\Access\MyDatabase.mdb" database.

// Close all the files before changing directory
HClose("*")

// Change the name of the database
// an Access database in this case: MyDatabase.mdb
HSubstDir("c:\Access\MyDatabase.mdb", "d:\My Documents\CustomerDatabase.mdb")

// Open/Create the files in the new database
HCreationIfNotFound("*")
