Jan,
As always, the pleasure is all mine!
Enjoy these new features and built-in tools to design and deploy intelligent
R:BASE eXtreme 9.1/9.5 applications.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.

Tip of the Day: Validating An Internet Connection
Product: R:BASE eXtreme 9.1/9.5 (32/64)
Build..: 9.1.5.11111 or higher

Section: New PROPERTY/GETPROPERTY Commands
When designing and deploying R:BASE eXtreme 9.1/9.5 applications,
you might have a cool R:BASE routine or Plugin to submit and/or
retrieve data that requires an Internet connection.
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.
