# Environment Variables - Other

PFCMARK=nn (Default (unset) operation = 00)

Marks the beginning of the century. "nn" is a 2 digit year between 00 and 99 (inclusive). Causes all 2 digit years before "nn" to be interpreted as 20nn and all 2 digit years from "nn" through 99 to be interpreted as 19nn.

Version Ref: 4.5

Default: 00, 2 digit dates span 1900 to 1999.

PFDIRFILTER=ON

Turns on the filter that verifies that only directories appear in the filePro filename list. Some Unix users had serious slowdowns with the filter enabled.

Version Ref: 4.8

(Default: OFF)

PFERRKEY=k

Where "k" is the key to return from a filePro/system error screen.

Version Ref: 4.5

Example:

PFERRKEY=#

Note: Set PFERRKEY to some symbol that isn't likely to be accidentally pressed before seeing the error message.
Using "X" as the exit key is not recommended, as it will
conflict with the case where the normal choices are Enter to continue or X to exit, as this will now be "X to continue or X to exit".

PFLANG=language

Allows different collating sequences for different language character sets.

Version Ref: 4.5

Syntax:

PFLANG=language or PFLANG=/full/path/to/collate/file

If only a language is specified, filePro uses the "language.col" file in the "fp/lib" directory. If a full path is specified, you must include the full filename, including ".col" if necessary. If not set, filePro uses its built-in tables, based on the default 8-bit extended ASCII character set (code page 437) and the English language.

Example:

Assuming filePro is installed in the "/appl/fp" directory, the following both load the Norwegian language file:

PFLANG=norway

PFLANG=/appl/fp/lib/norway.col

PFME=ON

Waits for Return key to be pressed for next field. Default is OFF. (*clerk)

Controls data entry. With PFME=ON, the user must press ENTER in order to move out of the field, or select a menu choice. With PFME=OFF, filePro moves cursor automatically whenever field is filled or menu choice is selected.

Version Ref: 1.0

Default: OFF

PFNAME=filename

Same as using Set/Change filename from menu.

Version Ref: 1.0

PFREADONLY=ON

Forces read-only attribute on session/file.

Version Ref: 4.8

PFSYSYR4=ON | OFF

Forces @TD, @CD, @UD, and @BD to 4-digit years.

Version Ref: 4.8

PFUFLAG=ON

Forces "-u" equivalent in *report.

Version Ref: 4.8.8
