Detecting Sense vs View in Script

[rwunderlich]

Is there any solid script technique for determining if a script is executing in Sense or View? The best I've come up with is testing the value of QlikviewVersion() but this strikes me as a little funky in the long term.

Hello,Rob!

Could you be so kind and share experience, where  the solution of this problem is required?

Hi Alexa,

It's not a situation most people encounter. I have some common script that I use in both QlikView and Qlik Sense. There are some small differences in script between the products. I want to be able to automatically detect which product I'm running in and take a different script path.

Thans for your answer,

You can specify a variable defining the environment prior to the code that includes the script.

Thanks for the suggestion Andre. I'm looking for an automatic mechanism. What I've settled on for the time being is:

LET .v.QlikProduct = if(subfield(QlikViewVersion(),'.',1)>6, 'VIEW', 'SENSE');

I'm relying on Sense version not being > 6 for quite some time.
