Starting in 20 R9, the command “Command name” can be used to check if a command is deprecated by passing the command number. This is useful for when a legacy database needs to be updated with modern commands. Below is a utility method (“isDeprecated”) to check if a command is deprecated by passing the command name as text:

#DECLARE($name : Text) var $bitInfo; $cmdNum : Integer var $cmdName : Text var $depList; $notDepList : Collection $depList:=New collection $notDepList:=New collection Repeat    $cmdNum:=$cmdNum+1    $cmdName:=Command name($cmdNum; $bitInfo)    If ($bitInfo ?? 1)      $depList.push($cmdName)    Else      $notDepList.push($cmdName)    End if Until (OK=0) If ($depList.indexOf($name)#-1)    return True Else    If ($notDepList.indexOf($name)#-1)      return False    Else      return "Command name not found"    End if End if

Below are some example uses of the utility method:

$b1:=isDeprecated("C_BOOLEAN") // True $b2:=isDeprecated("ALERT") // False $b3:=isDeprecated("_O_PREVIOUS RECORD") // Command name not found

If the command name is deprecated, the method returns True. If not deprecated, it returns False. If the passed name was not found as an actual command, it returns “Command name not found”.
