Overview

The application.ini file stores application-specific environment variables in a 'token=value' pairing. CA Gen delivers this initialization file with the C Runtime in the Gen install directory ($IEFH). When a C application is built using the Build Tool, this file is copied, only once, into the model's source directory, referred to by the profile token LOC.CODE_SRC. This copy of the application.ini file is customizable by the user, and will not be overridden.

When a C application executes, including cooperative servers and block mode applications, the C Runtime library opens and reads the application.ini file in the model's source directory and sets and uses uncommented environment variables in the application.
