Get current location doc with LotusScript

Believe it or not, there is no LotusScript method or property to get the current Notes client Location document.

Code below gets a handle to it by poking the Notes.ini "Location" variable's second comma delimited value (the Note ID) and then using it in the GetDocumentbyID database method.

Dim session as New NotesSession
Dim pnab as New NotesDatabase("", "names.nsf")

' Pick out the second argument in Location INI variable (i.e. the Note ID
of current location)
' Following string extraction cannot be done with R5 StrLeft() StrRight()
fcns b/c it won't work in R4 client, hence good old @formula Evaluate() to
the rescue...

CurrLocation$=session.GetEnvironmentString("Location", True)
CurrLocationNoteID=Evaluate( { @Left(@Right("} & CurrLocation$ & {"; ",");
",") } )

Set currlocdoc=pnab.GetDocumentbyID( CurrLocationNoteID(0) )
