Variables A
A-3
DateEditFormat
Date fields have a MM/DD/YYYY default editing format that is displayed
when the focus is in the field. If specified, the setting of this variable will
override the default editing format. This setting does not change how the date
is displayed when the focus is not in the field. So, if you specified a DD-
Month:YY format, then the date of October 26, 1995, would appear as 26-
October:95.
DialogCenter
This variable works in conjunction with the DatabaseWindow variable to
keep track of your window centering and arrangement preferences, especially
for those of you with large resolution capabilities. We recommend that you
do not attempt to change the setting of this variable.
ForceWriteCacheAlways
When set to the default “on” value, any write caching used by your system
will be bypassed. As such, a slight decrease in program speed may be
evident. However, when set to the “on” value, your data integrity is further
ensured in the event of a power failure. (We recommend that you do not
change the setting of this variable.)
ForceWriteCacheFlush
By setting this to the “off” value, writes are made according to your
operating system. This setting will increase your speed but it will also
increase your risk of losing data in the event of a power failure while within
the DPC/TRACK program. The default setting for this variable is “on”.
LccPath
This variable instructs DPC/TRACK of the location of the database files.
This setting is originally determined during the installation process. If you
move all of your database files (or restore a backup) to another directory, you
will need to update this variable to reflect the new location; otherwise,
DPC/TRACK will not be able to find your database files.
LccWorkPath
This variable specifies the path and directory where temporary files will be
created. This setting should not be the same as the RAM drive (which is
specified by the BufferPath variable) because the temporary files can be
quite large. Approximately 3MB should be available within the specified
directory.
