Macro extras

[Matt.Tyler]

Does CODE/400 default the folder extras when the command EXTRAS ON is executed? I have been told by a third party support person that IBM told them to tell users to keying in EXTRAS ON C:WDT400extras. Can CODE/400 reference to multiple folder locations for macros? -- Thanks, Matt Tyler mattt@wincofoods.com

Hi Matt, I'm not sure exactly who gave you the info, but you shouldn't ever need to include the extras directory in your macro path using the EXTRAS command. The EXTRAS command puts the extras directory into the macro path for you. To add multiple directories, use a semi-colon ';' as a separator. If you look in the CODE Tips and Techniques section of the Help, you should find all the info you need. Here is an excerpt: LPATH is used to find macros. To see your LPATH, invoke the following LPEX command QUERY LPATH The new EXTRAS.LX is the best way to manage your LPATH, since it's actually stored in two places in the Windows Registry. If you want to add a user macro directory to LPATH, (for example c:MYMACROS) you just execute the editor command EXTRAS ON c:MYMACROS Hope this helps!
