Hi guys,

I have a problem with new line character while using seq.puts() function.

Our development server is windows base while our client has Linux/Unix based server.

seq.puts() function works fine on our server but it does not put new line characters of Unix/Linux. Later on, i came to know that we have to use 'new line character' to insert line break.

Here is my question: Is there any in BAAN to know about our current environment (windows or linux/unix) so we can put relatively new line character. i.e. how to know baan underlying Operation System

Thanks

Hi Aamir,

maybe the simple old function ostype() can help.
Please see the programmers guide.

Usually it should not be necessary to know the underlying OS. Open your sequential file with "t" added to the open mode and LN will use CR/LF on Windows systems and only LF on UNIX systems automatically.
