NBVERS
The NBVERS utility is used to check the versions of the various NetBase programs and segments
that have been installed on the system. When NetBase is globally installed, it is used to control the
enabling and disabling of the interception of compatibility mode programs.
The syntax for running NBVERS is as follows:
:RUN NBVERS.PUB.NETBASE[,entrypoint][;INFO="filename"]
where:
entrypoint = PROG
SHELL
ENABLE
DISABLE
STATE
If NBVERS is run without an entry point, it checks both the program and the segment versions that
are installed on the system. For NetBase programs, NBVERS verifies that each program can load and
that their versions are reasonably matched. For the NetBase Shell, NBVERS verifies the versions of
the shell in PUB.SYS. If the versions do not match, NBVERS will terminate with an error.
The alternate entry points and the values for the INFO parameter operate as follows:
Entry Point Description
PROG
Displays the version of each installed NetBase component.
SHELL
Displays the version of both the NM and CM shells installed.
ENABLE
Begins interception of all subsequent CM processes when NetBase is
globally installed.
DISABLE
Terminates the interception of all subsequent CM processes when
NetBase is globally installed.
STATE
Displays whether NetBase is currently intercepting CM processes
(ENABLED) or not (DISABLED) when the shell is globally installed.
