fDataDir (Function)

In french: fRepDonnées

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 run time (that may have been modified by HSubstDir, HChangeDir, ...).

Remark: From version 19, HFSQL is the new name of HyperFileSQL.

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

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.
fDataDir is not equivalent to ..Directory.
