Adams command to find out operational system/platform

Hi,

I'm having a cmd-file that I want to be OS independent. Therefore I need to find out on which platform I'm working on and I couldn't find anything in the documentation or here. Probably I have searched in the wrong documentation or in the wrong place. But I hope that someone else here can help me put with this.

Rough code that I want to have:

if condition = (eval(platform == 'Win'))

set var set = fdir &

string = 'C://....'

elseif condtion = (eval(platform == 'Linux'))

set var set = fdir &

string = '/....'

end

Thanks in advance!

elseif cond=(GETENV( "MDI_CPU" )=="linux32"||GETENV( "MDI_CPU" )=="linux64")

I prefer platform independent functions.

In A/Car you have CDB_GET_OS(). If that's not equal nt, then it's Unix.

if cond=(CDB_GET_OS() != "nt")

! unix

else

!windoze

end

The CDB_GET_OS() function is ACar only, not available in AView.

And I would argue that the GETENV() function is quite platform independent.
