Datafile Location

Hi Rankin

I don’t trust some users, so we place text file adjacent to Omnis.exe and
read the path name out of the text file. This ensures we go to the right
place.
And when we open our window navigation window, the window header displays
the pathname. We use the $cdata().$pathname this makes it easy for
diagnosing problems over phone.

How can you find out which datafile your library is pointing to?

I have had an instance where I believe a User pointed the library to a
non-production datafile after opening Omnis application.
