How to determine if a file is open

Panorama "Classic"

In Pan 6, how do I determine if a file (other than the active file) is open?

I’m assuming that the variable filename contains the name of the database that you are interested in.

arraycontains(info("files"),filename,cr())

This will also work in Panorama X.

info("files") 

  INFO("FILES")


  Description: The info("files") function builds a carriage return
  separated text array containing a list of


  all the currently open database files.


  Examples: The example below uses info("files") to check to see if
  the Price List database is open. If


  not, the procedure opens the database.


  if 0 = arraysearch(info("files"),"Price List",1,¶)


  openfile "Price List"


  endif
