CimEdit/CimView Screen Search from a Protected Screen

CimEdit goes through the following search sequence for another screen when the current screen file is in a .cimrt format. When a match is found, CimEdit/CimView uses the screen file and stops the search.

CimEdit/CimView looks for:

1st

The exact specified file in the current directory.

2nd

A .cimrt or .cim extension in the current directory.

If the specified extension is a CimEdit extension (.cim, .cimrt, .ctx or .asc), for its search, CimEdit substitutes in the following order:

  1. .cimrt.

  2. .cim.

If the specified extension is not a CimEdit extension (.cim, .cimrt, .ctx or .asc), for its search, CimEdit appends in the following order:

  1. .cimrt.

  2. .cim.

3rd

A .cimrt or .cim extension in the directory path specified by the GMMI_SCREENS library directories.

If the specified extension is a CimEdit extension (.cim, .cimrt, .ctx or .asc), CimEdit substitutes:

  1. .cimrt.

  2. .cim.

If the specified extension is not a CimEdit extension (.cim, .cimrt, .ctx or .asc), CimEdit appends:

  1. .cimrt.

  2. .cim.
