Basepaths

The Basepaths tab shows the available basepaths configurations. A basepaths configuration defines a directory structure that a AMT-COBOL application can use. There can be as many basepaths configurations as needed. Shown is also in what application configurations this basepaths configuration is used and what applications are using this basepaths configuration.

To add a new basepaths configuration click the Add button and to change an existing one select that basepaths configuration and click the Edit button. A basepaths configuration can also be copied using the Copy button.

When Add or Edit has been clicked the edit window shown below will appear in which the appropriate entries can be made. In case of adding a new configuration all the fields will be empty of course. In case of Copy all the field values will be copied with the exception of the Description field which will be empty.

As shown in this example there are some environment variables for default paths.

%SYSROOT% = the system base path as defined in the base setup
%APPNAME% = the name of the application
%APPROOT% = the application base path as defined in the Application settings.

For the last variable to work the directory name of the application should be the same as the name of the application of course.
