Name

ScriptEngineMinorVersion Function

Syntax

ScriptEngineMinorVersion(  )

Return Value

A Long.

Description

Indicates the minor version (the number to the right of the decimal point) of the scripting language engine currently in use.

Programming Tips and Gotchas

  • The function is also implemented in the JScript script engine.

  • If your script requires some functionality available in a baseline minor version, you ordinarily would want to make sure that the script is running on that version or a later version. Test for a minor version with a code fragment like:

    lMajor = ScriptingEngineMajorVersion
    lMinor = ScriptingEngineMinorVersion
    If (lMajor = 5 And lMinor >= 1) Or (lMajor > 5) Then

    You should not test for equality, and you should never test for a minor version alone, without considering the major version.
