FILESMAX()
Specifies the maximum number of files that can be open at one time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
FILESMAX() --> nMaxHandles
Returns
FILESMAX() returns the maximum number of files that can be open at once.
Description
The value set for FILES= within the CONFIG.SYS, and the number of
available handles, influences the maximum number of files that can be
open simultaneously. The maximum number is determined by the smaller of
the two values respectively.
Notes
. The returned value is subtracted from the handles already
occupied by the operating system. This value is usually 5.
. This function cannot determine if an additional operating
system adaptation (Novell's SHELL.CFG) has been made under a Novell
network. These adaptations are only used for the current network
drive under Novell.
Example
How many files can be opened in the system?
? FILESMAX() // e.g. 100
