  • 1.  Within a trigger, solution to get File Name, not File Var

    Trying to create a generic write/delete trigger subroutine and would like to be able to determine the File name. Is there a way to get back to it from within a Trigger?

    I'm trying to write to a specific history file, based on the file name.


    I know I have a File Variable, but I'm not familiar how to parse that or cast it to a normal variable that I could parse. I've looked through the SYSTEM() values at the time and don't see anything obvious set there for the file.

    I'm really trying to avoid a separate subroutine for each file if possible.

    Jbase Version 5.6.6.

    Thanks,

    EDIT: After posting, I did find out that IOCTL works.

    IF IOCTL(FILEVAR,JBC_COMMAND_GETFILENAME,FILENAME) THEN
        FILENAME = FIELD(FILENAME,'/',DCOUNT(FILENAME,'/'))

    Is there a simpler way?

    Greg,
    In a jBASE trigger, the IOCTL function would appear to be the best solution.
