ui.Interface.getUniversalClientVersion

Returns the version of the front-end used for Universal Rendering.

Syntax

ui.Interface.getUniversalClientVersion()
  RETURNS STRING

Usage

The ui.Interface.getUniversalClientVersion() class method returns the version number of the GBC front-end used to render application forms.

This method is primarily used for debugging purposes.

When customizing your own GBC, the value returned by this API will contain the base version, followed by the value set for the customizationSuffix parameter of the .json GBC customization configuration file.

Important:

When calling this method, the user interface module of the runtime system will initialize. As a result, in text mode, the terminal will be initialized and get some escape sequences. This may corrupt standard output when executing batch programs. Consider testing the FGLGUI environment variable, if you want to check that the batch program is executing in text mode.
