HComputer (Function)
In french: HPoste
ODBCNot available with this kind of connection
Warning
From version 25 (89), HPost is kept for backward compatibility. This function has been replaced with HComputer.
Stores a unique computer number or identifier in order to use the log and transactions over the network. The computer corresponds to the user computer.
By default, the computer is identified by a unique number and by the computer name (defined in Windows). To easily identify the computer that runs the transactions, HComputer sets an ID specific to the computer. This ID replaces the computer name and can be viewed in WDTrans and WDLog.
Example
HComputer("45000")
// Assign the computer number read in "COMPUTERNUM" entry
// of "MYPROGRAM" section of "WIN.INI" file
ComputerNum is TO string
ComputerNum = INIRead("MYPROGRAM", "COMPUTERNUM", "")
IF ComputerNum = "" THEN
Error("Problem retrieving the computer number")
ELSE
HComputer(ComputerNum)
END
Syntax
<Result> = HComputer(<Identifier>)
<Result>: Boolean
  • True if the computer number was stored,
  • False otherwise. HError returns more details about the problem.
<Identifier>: Character string
Identifies the current computer (up to 16 characters). This ID can be viewed in WDTrans and WDLog.. This ID corresponds to the name of the client computer (returned by NetMachineName) or to the name of the computer where the data files are located (for a remote analysis).
Remarks
  • In most cases, HComputer is used in network in association with a parameter file found on the local computer and indicating its number.
  • HComputer is useless if the data files do not have a log and/or if they are not the source of a transaction.
  • If HComputer is used after HTransactionStart, the computer number will be modified for the next operations performed.
