BDE API Examples (DbiGetSysVersion)

Retrieves the system version information, including the BDE version number, date, and time, and the client interface version number.

Get BDE system version information:

This example is included with Delphi in the BDE32.HLP file.

Example 1: Retrun BDE Major and Minor Version in a String

This example uses the following format:
label1.caption := getversioninformation;
function getversioninformation: string;



  function DetermineMinorVersion(IntfVer, Month, Day, Year: integer): integer;

  begin

    Result := -1;

    case IntfVer of

      begin

        if (Month = 12) and (Day = 1) and (Year = 1995) then

          Result := 0;

        if (Month = 2) and (Day = 4) and (Year = 1996) then

          Result := 10;

        if (Month = 6) and (Day = 1) and (Year = 1996) then

          Result := 11;

        if (Month = 8) and (Day = 22) and (Year = 1996) then

          Result := 12;

        if (Month = 9) and (Day = 19) and (Year = 1996) then

          Result := 50;

        if (Month = 12) and (Day = 2) and (Year = 1996) then

          Result := 51;

      end;

      4:

      begin

        if (Month = 3) and (Day = 11) and (Year = 1997) then

          Result := 0;

        if (Month = 7) and (Day = 16) and (Year = 1997) then

          Result := 1;

          Result := 50;

        if (Month = 11) and (Day = 14) and (Year = 1997) then

          Result := 51;

      end;

      5:

      begin

        Result := -1;

    Check(DbiDateDecode(Version.dateVer, Month, Day, Year));



    Major := Version.iVersion div 100;

    Minor := DetermineMinorVersion(Major, Month, Day, Year);

    if Minor = -1 then

      Result := Format('%d.xx (cannot determine minor version)', [Major])

    else

      if Minor < 10 then

        Result := Format('%d.0%d', [Major, Minor])

      else

        Result := Format('%d.%d', [Major, Minor]);

  except
