skill to detect IC5

ejm20

My cdsinit has a few settings that can only work on IC6 so warnings are listed in the CIW.  Ive seen some code that will check the version in just a few lines but cant find any expamples.   Can you please point me to the article or provide some sample code.

 Thanks

  • Hi Andrew - that does work but it returns alot of info, I only need to know if its IC5 or 6.  I did finally find 2 other solutions.   The if does not work and looks like its missing a  close ) but it does not go where I thought it should.

    if( rexMatchp("6.1" getVersion() then
       icVersion="61"
    else
       icVersion="51"
    ) ;if

    You can also make use of the database format. E.g.

    case( dbGetDatabaseType()
       ("CDBA" icVersion="51")
       ("OpenAccess" icVersion="61")
    ) ;case
