I'm not a regular 4GL programmer, but I was looking through the manuals the other day and could not find anything in the index or appendices that told me how to do it. I can see how to do it easily enough by calling an external C function and from within C using the getenv() system call, but isn't there any easier way from within 4GL itself?
