jagjit.singh821.5524896220074456E12 asked a question.
i want to assign or say pass [computerName] to parameter szLine of
predefine function EzBatchAddString (szLine, szRefKey, nOptions).
i want to do it because i want to set the environment variable in batch file to
this value(ComputerName)
But when i set
szline=[ComputerName]
or
szLine=ComputerName
the compiler complaints for an error...
can u plz tell me how can i achieve this.
thanks
jagjit

GetEnvVar("ComputerName", sCompName);
Then use sCompName like any other variable in the Ez functions.
when i added this function into my code..upon compilation i encountered 50 errors
this is my code
can u plz tell me where's the error
include "ifx.h"
export prototype MyFunction(HWND);
STRING szLine, szRefKey;
NUMBER nOptions;
STRING sCompname
function MyFunction(hMSI)
// To Do: Declare local variables.
begin
define BATCH_FILE "C:\\ISExampl.bat"
// Include Ifx.h for built-in InstallScript function prototypes.
GetEnvVar("ComputerName",sCompname);
// Set the default batch file.
BatchSetFileName (BATCH_FILE);
// Set up parameters for next call to EzBatchAddString.
szLine = "rem This is the first line of the file.";
szRefKey = "";
nOptions = BEFORE|NOSET;
// Add a comment line to the top of the batch file.
if (EzBatchAddString (szLine, szRefKey, nOptions) < 0) then
MessageBox ("First call to EzBatchAddString failed.", SEVERE);
else
MessageBox ("First call to EzBatchAddString successful.", INFORMATION);
endif;
// Set up parameters for next call to EzBatchAddString.
szLine = "TEMP=C:\\EXAPP3";
