System (system object)
The system system object contains system variables related to the Raster Image Processor (RIP) the
document is using to execute, and document versioning. These system variables are read-only.
Syntax
&system.product string value
&system.version string value
&system.formversion integer value
Properties
product — String value containing the name of the RIP the document is using to execute. For example,
PlanetPress Design Alambic is the name of the RIP built in to PlanetPress Design (the RIP PlanetPress
Design uses when you perform a preview and select Internal interpreter as the PostScript interpreter).
version — String value containing the version number of the RIP the document is using to execute. For
example, 4.0.
formversion — Integer value containing the version number of the document requested by the trigger.
Recall that you can assign a version number to a document and increment the number each time you
update and reinstall the document. When you execute a document that uses a version number, the
document verifies its version number against the one you specify in the trigger, and it proceeds with
execution only if the two version numbers match. See the PlanetPress Design User Guide for more complete
information on versioning.
Time (function)
Returns the print time. Note that this function will only work if the document runs on a computer, since it is
impossible for the document to get the current time from a printer. So if you send your document to a
printer and then simply send data with the appropriate trigger to that printer, the document will run on
the printer and the function will return an empty string. Use the Run locally option, available in
PlanetPress Watch, to ensure that the document runs on a computer rather than on a printer.
