To allow database servers and shared-memory clients to access the compiled version of a word-break table, do one of the following:
- Copy the compiled word-break table to the
OpenEdgedirectory. - Set the
PROWDrule-num environment variable to point to the compiled word-break table. For example, for a compiled word-break table that has the name proword.34 and that resides in theOpenEdge/mydir/mysubdir directory, set the environment variablePROWD34toOpenEdge/mydir/mysubdir/proword.34.
Note: Although the name of the compiled version of the
word-break table has a dot, the name of the corresponding environment variable does
not.
To allow temp-tables in a client session to access the compiled version
of a word-break table, use the -ttwrdrul startup
parameter. See Associate word-break rule file with temp-tables for more
information.
