Session Number

[chyenne]

Hello everyone,
Do you know if there's a quick way to get the current Session number?

Thanks in advance.

unix cmd: ps -p $$ -o sess

I'm assuming you're asking for the process id of the 4GL program you're executing. Since I don't know of a way to do that with creating a callable "C" function. Here's a solution:

/*
* procid.c: return the current processid
*/
#include <stdio.h>

procid(a)
{
long x;

x=getpid();
retlong(x);
return(1);
}

Here's a test 4GL stub:

# testprocid
main
define x integer,
ret_str char(6)

let x = procid()
display x at 10,10
prompt &quot;Press <enter> to continue: &quot; for char ret_str

end main

If you are using the compiled version of 4GL, it's easy to use:

c4gl testprocid.4gl procid.c -o testprocid

If you are using the Rapid Development System, RDS, you have to link the &quot;C&quot; code into the runtime. Check out my calling &quot;C&quot; functions from 4GL FAQ over in the Informix Dynamic Server forum on how to do the linking:

Thanks Ed.
I was able to get what I needed using the Unix command I posted earlier.

Thanks again.
Chyenne.
