Syntax

HOME( )

Description

There are two "home" directories:

The directory where dBASE Plus is installed, by default:

 C:\Program Files\dBASE\Plus\

The directory where the actual executable file, PLUS.exe is installed. This is in the \Bin subdirectory of the installation directory, so by default, it’s:

 C:\Program Files\dBASE\Plus\Bin\

HOME( ) identifies the directory in which the currently running copy of PLUS.exe is located. HOME( ) returns the full path name whether SET FULLPATH is ON or OFF, and always includes the trailing backslash, as shown.

To identify the dBASE Plus installation home directory, use _dbwinhome.
