Tip of the Day: Finding PORTS on Your Workstation


Did you know that you can find the available ports on your computer?

You can find all available ports using the *new* (CVAL('PORTS'))
function.

Here's how:

01. Start RBG75 (update 14) or V-8 "Turbo" (update 11)

02. At the R> prompt:

    SET VAR vAvailablePorts TEXT = NULL
    SET VAR vAvailablePorts = (CVAL('PORTS'))
    SHOW VAR vAvailablePorts

    The variable vAvailablePorts will return a text string with
    a list of all ports that are available on that workstation.
    Each item in the list will be separated by a comma (or the
    database character settings for comma).

Enjoy and make sure to have fun!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
