I can only think of the really low-tech way that I do it (because I do the
exact same thing you do)
When running a routine from another place (like calling from another program or
from a menu system), I would do this:
SET VAR vFromProgram = 'Overnightrun'
RUN whatever.rmd
CLEAR VAR vFromProgram
Then whatever.rmd would do
SET VAR vFromProgram TEXT
IF vFromProgram IS NULL (or '= Overnight') THEN
do whatever
ENDIF

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Determining operating condition -- Standalone vs. Scripted
Good morning:
Is there a way to determine the operatingcondition that R:BASE programs are
running in? I didn't see a CVALfunction that would match what I'm thinking of.
For example, I have a set of 300+ programsthat run daily in a set sequence over
a 3-hour time period. For variousreasons any of these programs may need to be
run individually from theR>.
For example at the R>: RUNSuchAndSuch.RMD
There are situations where it wouldhelpful to be able to determine whether the
program was launched separatelywith the RUN command vs. running in a sequence
of programs.
Something like:
IF (CVAL("Standalone")) =1 THEN
Do something
ELSE
Do something else
ENDIF
Is there something already in placethat would let me test for this situation?
If not I might be contacting the DreamTeam soon.
Thanks for sharing any thoughts or suggestions.
