O$10.22: GetEnvironmentVariableW

[kim at martel.com.au]

Hi Wayne

I use this frequently in my programs to display or confirm which user is
using the program.  

Do listenv() Returns List
Do getenv("username") Returns iUserName

Can remember which version of studio I started using it.  I think it may
have been when went 64 bit.
Works well with OS20.22

Hi Greg,

I have different call for the computer name:

Register DLL('kernel32','GetComputerNameW','ICM')

Call DLL('kernel32','GetComputerNameW',lcComputername,255)


But for your call, I think you are missing a parameter:

Register DLL('kernel32.dll','GetEnvironmentVariableW','ICCM')

Call
DLL('kernel32.dll','GetEnvironmentVariableW','COMPUTERNAME',lcComputername,2
55)

Register DLL('kernel32.dll','GetEnvironmentVariableW','ICCM',kTrue)
