NUMFILES()
Determines the maximum number of files you can open simultaneously
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
NUMFILES() --> nNumber
Returns
NUMFILES() returns the maximum number of files you can open
simultaneously in all active programs.
Description
NUMFILES() determines the number of files that can be open
simultaneously under DOS. This information corresponds to the FILES=
setting in the CONFIG.SYS file. However, it is read from an internal
DOS table, not this file. Therefore, the function operates with or
without CONFIG.SYS, and returns more accurate system information.
Note
. The 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
Display the maximum number of files you can open:
? NUMFILES() // e.g. 30
