Check is session is able to compile

[D.Cook]

Is there any way to check if the current AVM session is able to compile and run procedure files? I ask because even if I run with NO-ERROR, the program exits when it receives error (471), even if a .r also exists.

What does showcfg show you in terms of installed products? With a runtime license you can't compile; with a development license, you can. Or are you looking for a way to do this programmatically?

Hi, in development mode create a program with following code:

MESSAGE 'Progress Version" PROGRESS VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
QUIT.

Save as z-runt.p and compile.

From de command line:

C:\DLC\bin\_progres.exe sports -1 -p z-runt.p -rr

NOTE: -rr = Run-Time Version

Regards.

Yep I'd like to do this programmatically.

MESSAGE 'Progress Version" PROGRESS VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
QUIT.

Thanks Sergio, I didn't know about this function.
