Is compiled mode


Is compiled mode {( * )} -> Function result

Parameter	Type	Description
*	Operator	Returns information about host database
Function result	Boolean	Compiled (True), Interpreted (False)

Description

Is compiled mode tests whether you are running in compiled mode (True) or interpreted mode (False).

The optional * parameter is useful in the case of an architecture using components: it can be used to determine the database (host or component) for which you want to find out the running mode.

When the command is called from a component:
- If the * parameter is passed, the command returns True or False depending on the mode in which the host database is running,
- If the * parameter is not passed, the command returns True or False depending on the mode in which the component is running.

When the command is called from a method of the host database, it returns True or False depending on the mode in which the host database is running.

Example

In one of your routines, you include debugging code useful only when you are running in interpreted mode, so surround this debugging code with a test that calls Is compiled mode:

  ` ...

 If(Not(Is compiled mode))

  ` Include debugging code here

 End if

  ` ...
