GOAL:
Why does the DBPARAM() function NOT return all the command line startup parameters?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows 32 Intel
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000
CAUSE:
The DBPARAM() function returns ONLY the so-called database parameters. It ignores all other parametrs including the -pf parameter.
FIX:
The DBPARAM() function returns the database parameters only. To get the the command line that started the current session, use code similar to:
DEFINE VARIABLE chrCommandLine AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO FORMAT "X(128)".
DEFINE VARIABLE ptrToString AS MEMPTR NO-UNDO.
PROCEDURE GetCommandLineA EXTERNAL "KERNEL32.DLL":
DEFINE RETURN PARAMETER ptrToString AS MEMPTR.
END PROCEDURE.
RUN GetCommandLineA (OUTPUT ptrToString).
DEFINE VARIABLE i AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN chrCommandLine = GET-STRING(ptrToString,1).
MESSAGE chrCommandLine
