Reading DBParm values from an external text file

As an alternative to setting the DBParm property in a PocketBuilder application script, you can use the PowerScript ProfileString function to read DBParm values from a specified section of an external text file, such as an application-specific initialization file.

To read DBParm values from an external text file:

Open the application script in which you want to specify connection parameters.
Use the following PowerScript syntax to specify the ProfileString function with the SQLCA.DBParm property:
```
SQLCA.dbParm = ProfileString ( file, section, key, 
     default )
```
For example, the following statement in a PocketBuilder script reads the DBParm values from the [Database] section of the APP.INI file:
```
SQLCA.dbParm=ProfileString("APP.INI","Database",
   "dbParm","")
```
Compile the script to save your changes.
