Comment:

Because generators prior to Version 1.2 do not support this function, you may find this function more useful in the future.

Examples:

For code that depends on the major version of the generator, you can code:

% IF &IG-MAJOR-VER = "2"
    %* Logic that takes advantage of release 2
    %* features only% ELSE 
    %* Logic for generating with any other version
% END

When executing IG Version 1.2, MFG generates:

&IG-MAJOR-VER = "1"
