PLB_PATH Keyword

PLBWIN, PLBCE or PLBLinux

PLB_PATH={path;path...} Windows

PLB_PATH={path:path...} Linux

This keyword specifies the initial search path used by the runtime to locate data files and object programs. Verbs using this search path include OPEN, ERASE, and CHAIN.

The search path may modified during program execution by the SEARCHPATH instruction.

If the PLB_PATH keyword is not present, the runtime will use the directory in which the PL/B runtime was found.

The default actions of the PLB_SYSTEM, PLB_PATH, PLB_TERM, and the screen definition file have been implemented such that PLBWIN and PLBCON can be executed in a default mode without requiring any specification of UET or INI keywords.

Note:

When using a Windows PL/B runtime, the ';' character is the delimiter character between each path specified in the PLB_PATH keyword.
When using a Linux/Linux PL/B runtime, the ':' character is the delimiter character between each path specified in the PLB_PATH keyword.
Back to back delimiter characters encountered in the PLB_PATH string are ignored.
