Holds a string indicating the major version number of the generator. Use &NUM to convert the returned string to a number you can use, for example, to:
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.
Aliases:
&ig-major-ver &Ig-Major-Ver
&igmajorver &IgMajorVer
&IGMAJORVER
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"
Comment:
Because generators prior to Version 1.2 do not support this function, you may find this function more useful in the future.
