Quick Tip: @LocationGetInfo - undocumented, but useful

by Thomas,
assono GmbH, Standort Kiel,


Recently I stumbled across an undocumented, but in some cases quite useful formula language function: @LocationGetInfo.

You can access some items of the current location document, but only some. sad.gif

These calls work:
@LocationGetInfo([AreaCode])
@LocationGetInfo([BookmarksFilename])
@LocationGetInfo([CatalogServer])
@LocationGetInfo([Country])
@LocationGetInfo([HomeServer])
@LocationGetInfo([InternationalPrefix])
@LocationGetInfo([InternetMailAddress])
@LocationGetInfo([LongDistancePrefix])
@LocationGetInfo([MailProtocol])
@LocationGetInfo([NamePreference])
@LocationGetInfo([SametimeServer])
@LocationGetInfo([WebRetriever])

The following two are most interesting of all:
@LocationGetInfo([FullName])
@LocationGetInfo([UNID])

[Fullname] returns the name of the current location, [UNID] is its unique ID.


Using [Fullname] you can easily access all other fields, e.g.
@Prompt([OK]; "MailFile"; @DbLookup("Notes" : "Cache"; "" : "Names.nsf"; "Locations"; @LocationGetInfo([FullName]); "MailFile"))
