DefaultDir
DefaultDir = <configured string value>
Example
procedure ScriptEvent(var Value: variant);
begin
Value := DefaultDir + 'Inbound\orders.xml';
end;
Usage
DefaultDir contains a value captured when the script is compiled of the General Setup default file path.
Lifecycle and safety
- It is immutable and captured at compilation. A later General Setup change does not update an already compiled script.
- It can identify a local drive, UNC path or any string accepted into Setup; file availability and permissions depend on the executing Designer/service account.
- Concatenation performs no traversal protection. Do not append untrusted path fragments.
- File operations can race other processes and must handle missing paths, access, sharing and disk errors.
Use the named AppDataScriptPath, AppDataFilePath or other Config path when the intended location is specifically a Velox-managed shared directory.
Additional Technical Info
DefaultDir is the value of General Setup's DefaultFilePath at the time the script is compiled.
Effective declaration
The current generated _Index.json contains a null record for this identifier and the physical page is consequently an acknowledged unindexed anomaly. Product source is authoritative: RegisterConstants locks gSetup and adds a PascalScript string constant from lSetup.DefaultFilePath.
The Setup setter ensures a non-empty configured value has a trailing path delimiter; an empty value stays empty. The constant itself does not check the directory, create it, resolve a relative path or grant access. Appending a filename to an empty value produces a path relative to the process current directory, which is usually undesirable—validate that DefaultDir <> '' when configuration requires an absolute base.
