VERSION( ) example

Suppose you have a class that represents your application. It has a method that checks if the string returned by VERSION( ) contains the word "Runtime" to determine whether the application is being run in the IDE workbench or as a compiled application:

function isRuntime()

  return ("RUNTIME" $ upper(version())) 

In the method that terminates the application, you either quit or restore the IDE workbench (by calling other methods in the class not shown here):

function shutdown()

   if this.isRuntime() 

      quit 

   else 

      this.unloadProcFiles() 

      this.restoreWorkbench() 

      this.unhookGlobalErrorHandler() 

   endif
