Lotus Domino Designer 8 Help - Examples: @DbName

FORMULA LANGUAGE

Examples: @DbName
These examples assume the semicolon is the selected separator.

1. This example returns ";PERSONAL.NSF" if the current document is in the PERSONAL database stored in the data directory of the user's own computer.

@DbName

2. This example returns "SALES1;ADMIN\STATUS.NSF" if the current document is stored in a Domino database named STATUS.NSF in the ADMIN directory on the SALES1 server. If the database is stored at the server's root directory (that is, it is not stored in a subdirectory), the result would be "SALES1;STATUS.NSF." You can extract just the file name of the list by combining @DbName with @Subset, as shown in the example below.

@DbName

3. This example returns "STATUS.NSF", the file name, since this is the last element in the returned list.

@Subset(@DbName;1)

4. This example returns the path of the current database, without the file name. For example, if the current database is SENSES\SOUNDS\SIGH.NSF, this formula returns "SENSES\SOUNDS."

@LeftBack(@Subset(@DbName;-1);"\\")

5. This example displays the server, path, and file name of the current database, substituting the common name for the hierarchical name of the server.

database := @Subset(@DbName; -1); server := @Name([CN]; @Subset(@DbName; 1)); @Prompt([OK]; "Database name"; @Implode(server) + " " + @Implode(database))
