PRGDIR Function

The PRGDIR function retrieves the path to a specified program directory and inserts it in an alphanumeric cell.

Syntax

PRGDIR()

Example 1

PRGDIR()

Returns the program directory to an alphanumeric cell. For example, if the program is located in the default installation folder, C:\PROGRAM FILES\CaseWare\ will appear in an alphanumeric cell.

Example 2

’PRGDIR()+"library\filename.cvw"’

Note:

• Insert single quotes around the function as a whole, and double quotes around "library\filename.cvw"’.
