Process number

Process number 


 

Process number ( nom | id ; * ) -> Function result 
Parameter Type   Description
nom | id  String, Longint in Nom (chaîne) ou ID (Entier long) du processus pour lequel le numéro de processus doit être récupéré.
in Retourne le numéro de processus du serveur
Function result  Longint in Process number

Process number returns the number of the process whose name or id you pass in the first parameter. If no process is found, Process number returns 0.

The optional parameter * allows you to retrieve, from a remote 4D, the number of a process that is executed on the server. In this case, the returned value is negative. This option is especially useful when using the GET PROCESS VARIABLE, SET PROCESS VARIABLE and VARIABLE TO VARIABLE commands. Please refer to the descriptions of these commands for details.

If the command is executed with the * parameter from a process on the server machine, the returned value is positive.
