VS_DictVar() Set the environment variable that VS_OpenDbf() uses NEW
Description:
VS_OpenDbf() normally looks for the data dictionary in the default
directory unless you have an environment variable DATADICT (ex: SET
DATADICT=D:\DATAPATH\) declared. VS_DictVar() allows you to
change/read the environment variable that VS_OpenDbf() will use.
Syntax:
c_CurrentVar = VS_DictVar( [c_NewVariable] )
Pass:
c_NewVariable is an optional character expression that should
contain the name of the environment variable you want VS_OpenDbf() to
use.
Return:
c_CurrentVar is a character expression that will contain the name
of the current environment variable that VS_OpenDbf() uses for
determining the location of your data dictionary.
Notes:
Example:
c_OldVar = VS_DictVar( "MYDICT" )
...
VS_OpenDbf( "MYFILE" )
...
VS_DictVar( c_OldVar )
...
Usage:
VS_DictVar() allows you to set a different environment variable for
each seperate application that you use.
