When your R:BASE eXtreme 9.1/9.5 applications include tools to extract, transform and load data, they are mainly responsible for data transfer from your R:BASE application and the Internet to data warehouses. However, not being connected to the Internet, or not having Internet access may result into -ERROR- message(s) and so forth. It would be nice to confirm a valid Internet connection before submitting or retrieving data or LAUNCHing a Web browser. Did you know that now you can use a new GETPROPERTY command parameter to check whether or not the computer is connected to the Internet? Here's how: SET VAR vResult TEXT = NULL GETPROPERTY APPLICATION IsInternetConnected vResult Resulting "vResult" variable will return the value of YES or NO. Using this approach, you can now build higher intelligence into your R:BASE eXtreme 9.1/9.5 applications. Have fun! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
