I want to get my computer name from info(3,4)

It is currently empty.


what must be initialized to get the name?

if i do a uname -a from the prompt it does have a name.


Thank you

Michael,

This isn't a BASIS group; it's a generic Business BASIC discussion group.  You probably want bbj-developer instead.

The BBj INFO(3,4) function uses this Java call internally; if it generates an error for any reason, it returns "":

>?java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()

scrappy.local

>

If you paste that Java command into a BBj console session, you should see the error that's causing INFO(3,4) to return "".  Most likely, you're getting a security exception.

Michael,

 

here's what i get on my system:

READY                            
>PRINT INFO(3,4)                 
Rgr-001                     
>!uname -a                       
AIX Rgr-001 1 5 009014084C00

try looking at the manual page for uname.

at the # prompt issue the command: 'man uname' - (no ticks)

 

i think the -T flag allows this to be set

good luck,

Mike
