Grabbing workarea location

Hello,

From inside a TPL file (inside the templatedata/presentation folder) what can I use that would give me the current workarea location (ex: //server/WA-NAME/main//WORKAREA/WAA-NAME/etc..).

I need to know what workarea the TPL file is in so I can call a lookup file.

Thanks!

Some like this

[html]
my $DCR = iwpt_get_dcr_name();
$DCR =~ s/\\/\//g;
$DCR =~ m|(.+)templatedata/|;
my $wa = $1;
[/html]

Now, IIRC, iwpt_get_dcr_name gives the path provided to iwpt_compile. If you use the GUI to preview/generate/regenerate, it works. If you try something like

cd /default/main/.../data
iwpt_compile -iw_pt-dcr ./default.xml

then it returns ./default.xml

First - in the future, please try posting in the correct forum (FormsPublisher is more appropriate than TeamSite in this case) (there seems to be a rash of such inappropriately targeted posts recently - yours is not the only one, but I figured I'd mention it as I'm responding to it)

I suggest you look at the information available on your TS server in

http://your-server/iw/help/tst/pt

- specifically the information on iw_perl.

Thanks Nipper! Was using a co-workers account above, but I have my own now :-)
