None
Optional Args
gConfigDir
Optional additional location of GINO configuration file
Description
The function gEnqConfigStatus() enables a GINO application to check the status of the GINO Configuration File and take appropriate action if the file is not found or illegal. The routine returns a zero value if the GINO configuration file is found to exist and contains the correct licencing information.
If the routine gEnqConfigStatus() is not called, the configuration file is checked by the first GINO routine used, and if not satisfactory the application will STOP.
Where an application requires a check on the configuration file, gEnqConfigStatus() should therefore be used in place of the call to gOpenGino(), ie. the very first GINO routine called in an application. If gEnqConfigStatus() is called at any other time GINO is re-initialized.
