GenStat procedures consist of a self-contained piece of program code along with options and parameters that provide control over the procedure and allow data to be passed in and out. A procedure library is a file containing one or more GenStat procedures. Attaching a library makes the procedures within it available as additional commands that you can use by submitting programs to the server via the Run menu. Usually, the libraries specified here are automatically attached each time you start GenStat.
To attach procedure libraries the file containing the procedures should be located within an add-in folder. There are two types of add-in folders: system and user. To make a procedure library system wide, i.e. to all users that have access to GenStat on a network server or on a local machine, the file should be placed in the system add-in folder called AddIns within the GenStat installation. Alternatively, to make the procedure library only available to the current user the file can be placed within the user add-in folder. The location of the user add-in folder is controlled via the General tab within the options.
The procedure libraries are attached to GenStat in the order they are displayed in. They are searched in this order, so in case of ambiguity the user version of a procedure takes precedence. The standard GenStat procedure library follows any libraries specified here.
To modify the library name or view the file pathname for a selected procedure library click on the Details button. You can add a new user library by clicking on Add. You can change the order that the procedure libraries appear in the list (and thus the search order) using the up and down buttons.
