DISKTOTAL()
Determines the total capacity of a floppy or hard disk
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
DISKTOTAL([<cDrive>]) --> nTotalSpace
Argument
<cDrive> Designates the drive for which memory capacity is
determined. The default is the current drive.
Returns
DISKTOTAL() returns a value that corresponds to the total capacity of
the data carrier in the selected drive. The default is the current disk
drive.
Description
DISKTOTAL() determines if the capacity of the disk in use is sufficient
for back up. The advantage of DISKTOTAL() over any capacity determined
by the system, is that it recognizes bad sectors and does not include
them.
Example
Determine if disk capacity is sufficient:
nRequired := DBFSIZE()
IF DISKTOTAL("A") < nRequired
? "Error! Insufficient disk capacity!"
ENDIF
