Examples
This example calls the GetMajorVersion function:
String ls_name
Constant String ls_currver = "8.0.3"
Integer li_majver, li_minver, li_fixver
ContextInformation ci
 
this.GetContextService ("ContextInformation", ci)
 
GetMajorVersion(li_majver)
ci.GetMinorVersion(li_minver)
ci.GetFixesVersion(li_fixver)
IF li_majver <> 8 THEN
   MessageBox("Error", &
      "Must be at Version " + ls_currver)
ELSEIF li_minver <> 0 THEN
   MessageBox("Error", &
      "Must be at Version " + ls_currver)
ELSEIF li_fixver <> 3 THEN
   MessageBox("Error", &
      "Must be at Version " + ls_currver)
