checkForDB

This procedure checks to see if the databases exist. If the databases exist, it sets the following properties:

connect_params_dbname — The connection parameters for the database as derived from the <database> node.
dbname_exists — Indicates if the database exists on disk.
dbname_does_not_exist — Indicates that the database does not exist on disk.

Where dbname is the name of the specific database.

Location: install\prc\inuimngrp.p

Parameters:

INPUT pcDBToCheck AS CHARACTER

The name of the database to check.

Returns: None (procedure)

Notes: The two opposite properties for whether the database exists are needed because you cannot evaluate NOT for a property and have the token expanded.
