I'm trying to get the current company number into a variable, but don't succeed. I know it's fairly simple (something with get.compnr() ), but can anyone help me out here ? I also need to decalre the variable in witch I put the company number, can I do that as a string or do I have to do that as a long ?
I want to export the variable in an ascii-file, so I don't need to use a oncase loop.

Greetz,

Peter.
:cool:

Try this:

domain tcncnp comp.no

comp.no = compnr

| tcncnp is a integer, if you want to put in a ascii file:

string comp.str(3)

comp.str = edit$(compnr, "999")

Hi Peter

Zardos is completely right. The only thing he did not answer was the use of get.compnr() ;) This function returns a long, thus you don't really need any domain to store it. The following will do the trick:


long comp

comp = get.compnr()
And then you can still use the edit$() to convert it!

Thanks guys!

I've taken the solution from Nico (sorry Zardoz:( ), it works (like expected...) fine.

Regards,

Peter.

compnr is a system variable that has the same result as get.compnr() function.
So both solutions are completely equivalent.
I think that getting a value from a variable is a little (ok, very very little ;) ) better as performance than calling a function.

You're right, that also works. For now I cannot determine which option is best for my preformance, because I'm using very small files (read: tables) now. Perhaps later I'll notice differences when the files are bigger.

Peter.:D
