Discussion

%VERSN returns a textual string that identifies the Synergy DBL environment in which the program is running.

Version is stored left-justified over blanks. Each r and m component can only be a single digit.

You can get the current build number at compile time using the SYN_BUILDNUMBER define. See Built-in compiler definitions for more information about compile-time definitions.

Examples

The following example displays the operating system and Synergy DBL runtime version on which the program is running.

.define TTCHN   ,1
record
    ident       ,a50
proc
    open(TTCHN, o, "tt:")
    ident = %versn
    writes(TTCHN, "Synergy system is: " + %atrim(ident))
    stop
end
