4.2.3 Step Three-Configuration Variables

Some behaviors of the terminal can be controlled by entries (variables) in the runtime configuration file. The default name of this file, like that of the terminal database file, varies according to the host operating system:

System
Runtime Configuration File
MS-DOS
\etc\cblconfi
Windows
\etc\cblconfi
OS/2
\etc\cblconfi
UNIX
/etc/cblconfig
MPE/iX
/etc/cblconfig
VMS
SYS$LIBRARY:A_CONFIG.DAT

Options on naming and accessing the runtime configuration file, and descriptions of many of the entries in it, are discussed in the "Compiler and Runtime" chapter of this manual. That chapter also discusses the relationship between the runtime configuration file and the host computer's environment. This chapter discusses entries in the terminal database file and the runtime configuration file which are of particular importance to the Terminal Manager.

Entries in both the terminal database file and the runtime configuration file are described throughout this chapter, grouped according to the functions that they control. These are the basic areas of functionality that you will need to consider in deciding what you need to modify or define:

System	Runtime Configuration File
MS-DOS	\etc\cblconfi
Windows	\etc\cblconfi
OS/2	\etc\cblconfi
UNIX	/etc/cblconfig
MPE/iX	/etc/cblconfig
VMS	SYS$LIBRARY:A_CONFIG.DAT
