You can specify switches in the following ways:
- In the IDE (such as in project properties). These switch settings are built into your application and are the defaults used for your application. These settings can be overridden when you run the application.
- In the environment variable COBSW. These switch settings take effect when you start the applciation. We recommend that for switches affecting file handling, you do not use COBSW, but edit the file handler configuration file Extfh instead.
- On the command line.These switch settings take effect when you start the application. Switch settings on the command line take precedence over those in COBSW.
