SWPGETPID() / SWPGETPIDBAS() Determine if given program is parent to current program.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function : Determine if a given program is a parent to the current program.
Syntax : lValue = SWPGETPID(cIdString)
Return : Logical value indicating whether the passed string was set as a
program ID by a parent process.
Determine if cIdString was a parent (at any previous level) of the currently
executing application. cIdString must be 31 characters or less, or the
function will return a false value. The string must exactly match an Id set
by a parent program using a call to SWPSETPID(). This can be useful in
preventing two copies of the same application from being executed.
Example:
IdStr = "Test Program"
IF SWPGETPID(IdStr)
? IdStr + " is already executing!"
QUIT
ENDIF
SWPSETPID(IdStr)
