Good Morning Paul,
The ability to pass parameters to any R:BASE instance, Runtime, and
compiled application is possible using the "STARTUPPARAMSTRnnn" and
"StartupParamCount" parameters of the GETPROPERTY command.
STARTUPPARAMSTRnnn - Returns the startup parameter value by the number
specified, where "NNNN" in StartupParamStrNNNN is the a number from
0 to STARTUPPARAMCOUNT.
Notes:
. This parameter is used with STARTUPPARAMCOUNT
. if NNNN = 0 (GETPROPERTY APPLICATION StartupParamStr0 VarName),
then VarName will always contain the executable name with path
. if NNNN > STARTUPPARAMCOUNT then VarName will contain the text:
"-ERROR-"
Example to Display Parameters:
Desktop Shortcut Target contains: C:\RBTI\CompApp_ABC.EXE "-v" "-boss"
CLS
CLEAR VAR vCount, vParamStr0, vParamStr1, vParamStr2
GETPROPERTY Application StartupParamCount vCount
GETPROPERTY Application StartupParamStr0 vParamStr0
GETPROPERTY Application StartupParamStr1 vParamStr1
GETPROPERTY Application StartupParamStr2 vParamStr2
SET VAR vMessage = ('EXE NAME : ' + .vParamStr0 + (CHAR(13)) ++
'PARAM 1 : ' + .vParamStr1 + (CHAR(13)) ++
'PARAM 2 : ' + .vParamStr2 + (CHAR(13)))
PAUSE 2 USING .vMessage
SHOW VAR
RETURN
StartupParamCount - Returns the startup parameter count for the
executable.
Notes:
. This parameter is used with STARTUPPARAMSTRnnn
Example:
GETPROPERTY Application StartupParamCount vParamCount
The above examples and many other parameters are available within the
"Application" Category of R:Docs X.5!
Hope it helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak

Good afternoon,
I'm using a compiled application to do something
NOT RBASE related. I'm using it to use the
LAUNCH command to launch 2 separate EXE's. Each
of the 2 EXE's allows me to pass command line
parameters to startup each EXE. I'm wondering if
I could put all the “startup parameters†in
the RBASE EXE shortcut and interrogate them inside and pass them appropriately.
Anyone have any experience passes command line
parameters when starting up an RBASE EXE?
Thanks in advance,
Paul Buckley
