INI stands for “initialization”. They are PRIMARILY intended to be a standard format that applications can make use of to hold INFO from one run to the next. Rather than hard-coding the VALUES of transaction properties in SCRIPTS, which is too inflexible for most real-world applications, you’ll want your scripts to read some or all of them from an .INI file. You COULD use PB.INI .INIs are always in the same format:

[Database]
DBMS = Sybase
Database = Video Store DB
User Id =
DB Password =
Log Password =
Server Name =
Log Id=
Lock =
DBParm=ConnectString=‘DSN=VideoStore DB;UID=dba’
