Managing information in initialization files

Functions for accessing
initialization files

PowerBuilder provides several functions you can use to manage
application settings in initialization files:

Function Description
ProfileInt Obtains the integer value of a setting
in a profile file.
ProfileString Obtains the string value of a setting
in a profile file.
SetProfileString Writes a value in a profile file.

For complete information about these functions,
see the PowerScript Reference
.

For how to use the ProfileString functions
with the registry, see “Functions for accessing
initialization files”
.

Support for multiple platforms

When you move an application initialization file from one
platform to another, you may need to convert line endings.

For more information about converting line
endings, see “Saving text files–what
line endings to use”
.
