Why are there two profile files: basein.pro and iebase.pro?
As Expedite reads your basein.pro file, it writes the values to its own file, iebase.pro. This is a fixed format file that contains the permanent record of your profile information. Your application should not write to this file or rely on the its format of the file to be the same from release to release. Using basein.pro, you can easily create and modify iebase.pro without knowing the fixed record format of iebase.pro and without having to encrypt passwords. While you may not encrypt passwords in basein.pro, the passwords are stored encrypted in iebase.pro for you. You can erase basein.pro and rely on iebase.pro for password security. Create basein.pro and run Expedite to create or modify the profile information. If your PROFILERC in baseout.pro shows a 00000 return code, you know that your iebase.pro file was updated and you can erase basein.pro. If PROFILERC is not 00000, you have a syntax error in basein.pro that you must correct before you can proceed. Do not erase iebase.pro beca
