Take a look at the API; to retrieve the machine name, see the code below. If you need to extract share names and the like, there are other calls to resolve UNCs from mapped paths, etc.


DECLARE INTEGER GetComputerName IN Win32API ;
STRING @cComputerNameBuffer, ;
INTEGER @nLengthOfName

* Retrieves the ComputerName in use presently - safer than using the registry
* entry, since it mught have been reset for the next boot
LOCAL cMyBuffer, nBufferLen, nResult, cCompName
* Create a fixed-length buffer to hold result; we'll examine the buffer length
* after the call to see how long the name really is
cMyBuffer = SPACE(255)+CHR(0)
nBufferLen=256
nResult = GetComputerName(@cMyBuffer, @nBufferLen)
IF nResult = 1
cCompName=STRTRAN(LEFT(cMyBuffer,nBufferLen),CHR(0),'')
ELSE
cCompName = ''
ENDIF
