SWPGETPID / SWPGETPIDBAS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function : Determine if a given program is a parent
to the current program.
Syntax : lValue = SWPGETPID(cIdString)
Return : Logical value indicating whether the passed string
was set as a program ID by a parent process.
Determine if cIdString was a parent (at any previous level) of the
currently executing application. cIdString must be 31 characters or
less, or the function will return a false value. The string must exactly
match an Id set by a parent program using a call to SWPSETPID(). This
can be useful in preventing two copies of the same application from
being executed.
Example :
IdStr = "Test Program"
IF SWPGETPID(IdStr)
? IdStr + " is already executing!"
QUIT
ENDIF
SWPSETPID(IdStr)
