fgl_report_findResourcePath

Returns the path to a resource searching first FGLRESOURCEPATH, then FGLDBPATH and finally DBPATH. (deprecated!)

Syntax

fgl_report_findResourcePath(
  reportName STRING )

reportName - Specify the name of the report.

Usage

The function returns the absolute path to the resource specified in the argument. In case that a file cannot be found the function returns the argument passed.

Important: The function is deprecated since it does not work in distributed mode. The function fgl_report_loadCurrentSettings now searches the path variables, making this function obsolete.

The function is typically used in conjunction with the function fgl_report_loadCurrentSettings() as in this example:

IF fgl_report_loadCurrentSettings(fgl_report_findResourcePath("OrderReport.4rp")) 
THEN
  ...

Assuming FGLRESOURCEPATH is set to /home/fjs/reports/lists:/home/fjs/correspondence and the report OrderReport.4rp is located at /home/fjs/correspondence/OrderReport.4rp, that report will be loaded.
