Current machine -> Function result

Parameter	Type	Description
Function result	String	Network name of the machine

Description

The Current machine command returns the name of the machine as set in the network parameters of the operating system.

Even if you are not running with the Client/Server version of the 4D environment, your application can include some network services that require your machine to be correctly configured. In the On Startup database method of your application, you write:

 If((Current machine="")|(Current machine owner=""))

  ` Display a dialog box asking the user to setup the Network identity of his or her machine

 End if
