xcall MIAMEX, MX_GETCISAM, fspec, version, serial

This function returns the version number and serial number of the ISAM or ODBC library associated with the specified fspec. version and serial should be mapped as strings of 33+ bytes. It is mainly used within ISMUTL.

ISAM-A support requires an add-on license to A-Shell. If not licensed, the serial string will be returned as “<not licensed>”.

This routine was modified, in build 1159 of 24 September 2009, to support returning data into dynamic variables, such that they expand as needed. Previously, the output data was being truncated to the current size of the variable, or 0 for uninitialized.
