Razzak,
You sneaky dog, this is very cool. I will start using this right away.
Thanks,

Mike,
You may also use the "-Txxx" executable option to add an additional text label
to an R:BASE instance, where xxx is a custom text (e.g.
Development) or "RandomID".
The label will allow you to identify the running the instance in the Task
Manager, which is useful in your case with multiple instances of R:BASE running.
Examples:
C:\RBTI\RBGX\RBGX.EXE "-TSuchAndSuch"
C:\RBTI\RBGXE\RBGXE.EXE "-TNewDataImport"
C:\RBTI\RBGXE\RBGXE.EXE "-TLogEnvChanges"
To use a random value, specify "-T RandomID" to use the operating system
TickCount value, which returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since the
system started.
Example: C:\RBTI\RBGXE\RBGXE.EXE "-T RandomID"

Very Best R:egards,
Razzak

There are situations where it would helpful to be able to determine

running in a sequence of programs.
Something like:
IF (CVAL("Standalone")) = 1 THEN
Do something

Do something else

Is there something already in place that would let me test for this

If not I might be contacting the Dream Team soon.
Thanks for sharing any thoughts or suggestions.

Re: [RBASE-L] - Determining operating condition -- Standalone vs. Scripted
Mike,
Would (CVAL('CONNECTIONS')) help?
(CVAL('CONNECTIONS'))
Returns the number of users currently connected to the current
database or 0 if not connected. In the event of a non-graceful
disconnect R:BASE will not be able to decrement the connections
count. This can occur if the network session terminates unexpectedly,
or if the users operating system crashes. If this happens the count
will be inaccurate until all users disconnect from the database. This
works because the last session of R:BASE will be able to tell that NO
users are connected and will reset the count to zero. Unfortunately,
due to file system limitations, R:BASE is only able to tell if a
database is open by any users or not at all, and is not able to tell,
except by this count, how many users are connected

Re: [RBASE-L] - Determining operating condition -- Standalone vs. Scripted
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
