xcall GETVER, verstring
GETVER returns the version of the currently running program module, either RUN or LIT or SBX.
Parameters
verstring [out] (String)
should be 13+ characters to handle the longest possible version string.
Example
Given the following PROGRAM statement:
PROGRAM MYTEST,1.0A(234)
GETVER would return:
1.0A(234)
Comments
If the program is currently executing an SBX, then GETVER will return the version of the SBX rather than the version of the main program.
A module with no PROGRAM statement will return version "0.0(0)"
The version string returned by GETVER is the same as that displayed by DIR/V and also the same as the value of the dot variable .PGMVERSION.
To retrieve the version of a program module other than the one currently executing (i.e. like DIR/V does), see the function Fn'ProgVer$(fspec) in SOSLIB:[907,11].
