f$SetProfile (f$SetzeProfile)

Make a setting in an initialization file (e.g. "tdv.ini" in the Windows directory).

Settings can also be made for other programs - e.g. Microsoft Word. These settings can then be evaluated by the respective program, e.g. in Word using the WordBasic function "GetProfileString". The setting can be read in ePOS with f$GetProfile.

Note:

To avoid problems with writing permissions at file level, the settings are saved in the ePOS database.

Hint:

Every customer can create their own initialization files in which department- or computer-specific data is saved. This can be done by creating a "<customer>.ini" file in the Windows directory with an ASCII editor where, for example, the language for dialog windows, logic management parameters such as "Sales" etc. or also certain data paths are saved.
