acl method to return editor version

[apco]

is there an acl method call that returns the version of editor being used?

I imagine there is but can't find it

thanks,

Tracey

Hi Tracey--

In ACL, this is stored in pre-defined variables rather than methods (functions). The following list from the online help should include what you need:

•

$version_build — The current build number of Arbortext Editor. This is a read-only variable.

•

$version_date — The date of the current version of Arbortext Editor. This is a read-only variable.

•

$version_date_code — The current software date code. For example, “M020”. This is a read-only variable.

•

$version_number — The current version number of the software. This is a read-only variable.

•

$version_release — The current software release number. For example, “5.4”. This is a read-only variable.

There is a lot of useful info accessible via predefined variables. If you search the Help Center for "predefined variables", you'll find a help topic that lists them all.
