Syntax to make #include file work??

This works:
#include <\\sharename\path\subdur\include_file.dxl>

But I can't figure out how to make this work if the include file is not on a share
(in other words, if the path doesn't have two leading backslashes I can't get it to work).

E.G. how do I include a file from my local PC, say the C drive???
I.E. from directory C\Program Files\Telelogic\DOORS_8.1\lib\dxl\addins\user

Played around enought to figure out a solution; this works:

#include <c://some//path//here//include_file.dxl>

For network paths you do it the way you did with .

For local paths, do #include "filepath".

Note that you can use incomplete paths that are relative to your install-DXL directory. These two both work: 

#include <C:\Program Files\Telelogic\DOORS_8.1\lib\dxl\config\baseWindowCallbacks.inc>
#include                                              <config\baseWindowCallbacks.inc>

 


Additionally, if you specify environment variable 'addins' as "c:\Doors-Stuff\DXL-Local", these both work:

 

 

  

#include <c:\Doors-Stuff\DXL-Local\Includes\Lib-Version.inc>
#include                          <Includes\Lib-Version.inc>



If you use the double-quotes form of #include instead of carrots , front slashes must be escaped. The first below fails even though it works with carrots (as above), the 2nd one works:



 

 

  

#include "Includes\Lib-Version.inc"       // This fails
#include "Includes\\Lib-Version.inc"      // This works.



Understand that the #including is done before any parsing, so you cannot have some clever DXL that checks the existence of a file before attempting to include it. Also, if you #include some file inside a structure such as an if-then-else, then the definitions are not avaible afterwards, since that context is over.

Understand that if you put #include files in layout or attr DXL, then EVERYBODY who uses that view or attribute MUST have direct access to that file, otherwise they are greeted with lots of rude DXL errors. Only very small or very controlled deployments qualify; thus #includes rarely work in Layout and Attr DXL.

What does your source code include line look like?

Looks like you probably have that wrong, but need to see it to know what is happening.

Also is env variable "addins" defined? If so, as what?

This is my source code for including files

#include <D:\addin\ExcelFunctions.inc> #include <D:\addin\ole.inc>

Also I have no env variable "addins" defined.
How can I defined it ?
Thanks

Works fine for me. Of course you need to have those two files existing...do you includce files existing as per:

D:\addin\ExcelFunctions.inc

and...

D:\addin\ole.inc

?

If not, of course it won't work!

As Louie has noted, to include DOORS-provided include files, you can use relative paths:

#include <utils\ole.inc>

Yes sure my files are exisiting in the directory addin.

But I dont know why I have this error.

-E- DXL: <D:/addin/ExcelFunctions.inc:9> could not open include file (ole.inc) (No such file or directory)
Included from:
    <Line:57>
-I- DXL: All done. Errors reported: 1. Warnings reported: 0.

Looking at the error message, looks like ExcelFunctions.inc line 9 has an include file (ole.inc) that can't be found: what is line 9 in ExcelFunctions.inc say exactly?

Thank you very much you are right. I did not include that (ole.inc) file.

Now it works fine when I include it.

Thanks
