Hi All
How to recognize client OSes (and bx, bw, ba) from Baan IV script?

Thanks

perhaps of this way:

long srv_data(SRVMAXSIZE)

on case get.display.data(srv_data)
case DSNOSERVER: | Is this possible ???
| Error
break
case DSBA: | ASCII interface
| BA
break
case DSBW:
| BW
break
case DSBX:
| BX
break

endcase

U can get client OS with following command besides UI (ba,bx,bw etc)

srv.display.os.type(server_data) like
- DSBW_WIN_311
- DSBW_WIN_NT
- DSBW_WIN_95
- DSBW_WIN_98

Thank you
Sounds good, but ...

win98 and win2000 look like DSBW_WIN_95 and using DSBW_WIN_98 raise compile error (although maybe this macro is located in the later service pack that I have)

And what about version of bw?

Help on this aspect does not specify these OS's (viz. DSBW_WIN_98 and later version) . Ours is SP12. I wrote it just on assumption that like 95 there should also be 98.

I think the distinction between this 3.11, NT and 95 is because of some technical difference the way BW works on all these OS. If u test , the program will return only DSBW_WIN_95 for all the later windows OS.

I don't think there is a way to know about BW version . Some body can shed light.

This looks like an old topic discussed many times.

Hitesh, in the newer BW versions you can find the BW version info too.

Sorry for old topic, i was in a hurry

For information: GetFileVersionInfo for ONE BW client for different oses gives different results (W2000 shows "6.1.3.67", W98 - "B40c.67" ), why?

Thank you
