Hi Fabien,   
  
 FBBUILDTYPE lets you find out if the build which is running is a complete build, or a partial build (ie Run From Current Action, etc.) Its value can be one of 4 script constants:   
  
 btFull   
 btFromCurrent   
 btSelected   
 btSelectedAndChilren   
  
  
 Builds running outside the IDE (ie FBCMD or FinalBuilder Server) always have value btFull (which happens to be zero.)   
  
 I’ll get the documentation (and possibly the typo in the last constant name) corrected ASAP.   
  
 Regards,   
  
 Angus
