Hello, I'm currently developing reports for a client who works with v7.11 but my fex's and other clients are currently implemented with v7.67.

After a few arrengements everything works just fine in the two versions but the display changes a litle bit. Things that look nice in v7.67 look bad on v7.11 and vyceversa.

So my question is: does it exist an environment variable that tells what version is the fex running on? Or perhaps a function that retrieves the number of version of Wwbfocus?

By getting the version I will be able to make branches and pick the style that corresponds to each version.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, this works, but FOCREL varies not only amongst releases but also amongst patchs.

-TYPE &FOCREL

So I'd need to isolate the second half of the string which contains the release number. Something like a SUBSTR, how can I do that?

Thanks!
