BES 7.2.5.22 on W2k3, Relevance Debugger 2.0.0.3

I’m writing an analysis that will tell me the version of the file vpatch.exe. The file, however, is in a path that contains the unique computer name for each computer.

In the relevance clause below, the phrase " & computer name as lowercase & " returns The operator “concatenate” is not defined when testing with the relevance debugger. However, when I put the actual computer name in the phrase, the version of the file is correctly returned.

if (exist file “D:\Program Files\ISS\issSensors” & computer name as lowercase & “\vpatch\vpatch.exe”) then (version of file (“D:\Program Files\ISS\issSensors” & computer name as lowercase & “\vpatch\vpatch.exe”)) as string else “Not Exist”

How can I make this work? Any help is surely appreciated.

You need parentheses around the file name so that the concatenation of the strings occurs before the file operator checks the string. Also, you can also simplify the whole thing this way:

(if (exists it) then (version of it as string) else “Not Exists”) of file (“D:\Program Files\ISS\issSensors” & computer name as lowercase & “\vpatch\vpatch.exe”)
