Text or text list. Without the parameter, returns the name of the platform. May be any of the following:
When you use the [Specific] keyword, @Platform returns a text list containing the following items:
The detailed platform name.
The current version number of the primary operating system. The number is specific; for example, 3.11. For the UNIX platform, @Platform([SPECIFIC]) returns only the specific platform name, not the version number.
The name of the secondary operating system. The values are the same as those for the primary operating system. Most platforms don't have a secondary operating system.
The current version number of the secondary operating system.
When it is used in column, selection, or scheduled agent formulas, @Platform returns the current platform where the database resides. If the database resides on a server, @Platform returns the server platform; if the database resides locally, @Platform returns the workstation platform.
Your application may perform certain operations that are not available in all platform versions of Notes/Domino (such as the DDE-related functions). Rather than receive an error, you could use @Platform to determine whether or not to perform the operation.
You can use @Platform([Specific]) to distinguish between Windows 32 platforms (NT versus 95), and between UNIX or OS/2 platforms.
This function returns the server platform only. Use @ClientType to distinguish between Web and Notes/Domino users.
In Web applications, @Platform returns the platform only.
