pipo strmout and skill path

Hi all,

I set my skill path (setSkillPath) in my .cdsinit file. This works
nicely with the "layoutPlus" tool, but the "pipo strmout" tool seems
to not be reading it. According to the pipo documentation (Design Data
Translator's Reference August 2000 Product Version 4.4.6, p.86):

"The .cdsinit file is automatically loaded into the Stream Out form
when you specify layout as your view type in the Stream Out form."

Now I assume (possibly wrongly) that means that when setting
streamOutKeys I need to set 'viewName to "layout", i.e.

streamOutKeys = list(nil
....
'viewName "layout"
....
)

(Where "..." refers to all the other assignments inside streamOutKeys)

But even when I do that, pipo strmout is not finding my skill path
(because, apparently, it is not loading my .cdsinit file.)

A workaround is that I can setSkillPath inside the libInit.il file of
each library (when I do this, pipo strmout works cleanly). But I'd
rather not do that because there are several libraries. What I really
want is to set my skill path once and only once, and the .cdsinit file
seems the best place to do this.

Any ideas on to do this?

You need a streamout.template and a cds.lib file to run
"pipo strmout streamout.template" from the Unix command
line. This does not require setting the skill path.
You can create a sample template from the streamout form.

If I misunderstood what you were trying to do, then nevermind.
