Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.
  • Compare ranges of versions with relational comparison operators.
  • Document a run, such as a comment in the generated output.
  • Test a rules program that depends on the features in a specific MFG version.

Syntax:

&IG-RELEASE

Aliases:

&ig-release     &Ig-Release
&igrelease      &IgRelease
&IGRELEASE

Comments:

  • Although other strings are possible, the usual values are: "FT" for field-test, "ESP" for early support program, and "GA" for general availability
  • Because generators prior to Version 1.2 do not support this function, you may find this function more useful in the future.

Example:

When executing IG Version 1.2 GA, MFG generates: 

&IG-RELEASE = "GA"
