The DescribedDirectory property is used to manage the physical directory of HFSQL files. This property ignores the possible changes of directory performed by HChangeDir or HSubstDir. You can:
  • Identify the physical directory of a data file defined in the data model editor or through programming.
  • Define a physical directory for a data file (when the file is described through programming).
Example
// Define the physical directory of the Orders data file
Orders.DescribedDirectory = "C:\MyFiles"
...
// Validate the data file description
HDescribeFile(Orders)
