View version information of SYSBldPrepare( )

To determine which SYSBldPrepare( ) version you have been using, use the SYSBldRelease( ) function. This function can be useful if you contact Software Support with SYSBldPrepare( ) issues. You must have run the SYSBldPrepare( ) function at least one time before the SYSBldRelease( ) function can return the version string.

SYSBldRelease( ) is a built-in function of Informix® that takes no arguments. It returns the version string and compilation date of the SYSBldPrepare( ) function. The returned version string has this format:

major.minor.os_codeCinterim

Here C is a literal character, and the major, minor, os_code, and interim elements of the version string have the same semantics that these terms have in the Module Reference segment in the calling syntax of the SYSBldPrepare( ) function, but with no asterisk (*) wildcard notation.

The SQL statement in the following example requests the version string of the SYSBldPrepare( ) function for the current database:

EXECUTE FUNCTION sysbldrelease();

For the complete calling syntax and the signature of the SYSBldPrepare( ) function, see its description in the Informix Guide to SQL: Syntax.
