|---|---|
|
TRUE |
Deactivates the Pathname procedure in an application. |
|
FALSE |
Activates the Pathname procedure in your application. FALSE is the default value. |
If a procedure named “Pathname” exists in your application, it’s called automatically by the runtime engine or in Dexterity test mode when a table operation occurs, such as open table, get table or change table. If no Pathname procedure exists, the runtime engine will perform all table operations in the same location as the dictionary.
If the Pathname procedure remains activated, it will run for all tables with the exception of tables in the Design Doc or Pathnames series. If the Pathname procedure is deactivated, the Dexterity file manager will perform table operations on tables in the same location as the dictionary.
