5.13 CFXVXDT/CFXVXDS Usage (continued)
The following should be considered:
- Explicit directory specifications work as expected. An explicit directory specification will contain
a drive letter followed by a colon and a backslash. One exception is when a drive letter is mapped
locally to the DOS session and is not mapped the same way for CFXVXDS.
Examples:
OK
“c:\cfx”
OK
“c:\app\drivers”
- Avoid any relative directory references. A relative directory depends on the execution
environment in order to fully resolve the reference, and since these will probably be different for
the DOS application and CFXVXDS, they will resolve differently.
Examples:
avoid
“drivers” - “drivers” subdirectory of current directory
avoid
“e:” - current directory on E:
avoid
“d:atb” - “atb” subdirectory of current directory on D:
avoid
“.” - current directory
avoid
“..” - parent of current directory
avoid
“\stuff” - “\stuff” directory on current drive
- Avoid environment variable references in the search path unless it can be guarenteed that the
environment variable will be the same for both the ATB/DOS application and CFXVXDS. Avoid
the “current directory plus environment variable” reference for the reasons in this paragraph as
well as the prior.
Examples:
avoid
“%cfxdir” - path in the “cfxdir” environment variable
avoid
“+cfxdir” - current directory plus “cfxdir”
