Use the STARTUP-PARAMETERS attribute of the SESSION system handle to obtain a comma-separated list of all startup parameters specified for the current OpenEdge session. The character string returned includes startup parameters from the following potential sources:

  • Default startup parameter file ($DLC/startup.pf)
  • File specified by the $PROSTARTUP environment variable
  • Startup parameters specified on the command line
  • Startup parameters specified in a parameter file (.pf)

The following example shows the STARTUP-PARAMETERS attribute output generated by executing execlog.p. (See also Run-time diagnostics.)

Sample STARTUP-PARAMETERS output 

-pf C:\Progress\OpenEdge\startup.pf,-cpinternal ISO8859-1,-cpstream

(end .pf),-db sports2020,-1

See ABL Reference for detailed information on the STARTUP-PARAMETERS attribute.
