The OpenEdge Hive

Simple test:

&IF STRING( 0, "9" ) > "" &THEN &ELSEIF

Use case:

We use a preprocessor that contains a 'normalized' proversion for simple compile time branches based on Progress version.


&GLOBAL-DEFINE PROVERSION-MAJOR (STRING(INTEGER(ENTRY(1, PROVERSION, ".":U)), "99":U))
&GLOBAL-DEFINE PROVERSION-MINOR (ENTRY(2, PROVERSION, ".":U))
&GLOBAL-DEFINE PROVERSION ({&PROVERSION-MAJOR} + ".":U + {&PROVERSION-MINOR})

&IF {&PROVERSION} > "10.1A" &THEN UseOE10Feature &ENDIF


Work-around:


&IF INTEGER( ENTRY( 1, PROVERSION, ".":U ) ) < 10 &THEN
&GLOBAL-DEFINE PROVERSION-ZERO 0
&ENDIF
&GLOBAL-DEFINE PROVERSION-MAJOR ( "{&PROVERSION-ZERO}":U + ENTRY (1, PROVERSION, ".":U ) )
&GLOBAL-DEFINE PROVERSION-MINOR (ENTRY(2, PROVERSION, ".":U))
&GLOBAL-DEFINE PROVERSION ({&PROVERSION-MAJOR} + ".":U + {&PROVERSION-MINOR})
