VOLUME()
Establishes a volume label for a floppy or hard disk
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
VOLUME(<cDiskName>) --> lEstablished
Argument
<cDiskName> Designates a name to use on a new volume label. A
drive designation is allowed; path designation and wildcards are not.
Returns
VOLUME() returns .T. when the new volume entry is created.
Description
DOS provides a volume label as a disk identifier. With the VOLUME()
function you can establish this label. There is never more than one
label per floppy or hard disk. A volume label can be up to 11
characters long, but when you use a period (.) it must always follow the
eighth character.
You can query the volume label with FILESEEK(), since the value 8 is
assigned as the volume attribute.
Notes
. A new volume label is always created in the root directory.
. The function acknowledges the CSETSAFETY() setting and, if
necessary, does not overwrite an existing label.
Examples
. Establish a volume label for A: drive:
. Query the A: drive volume label:
? FILESEEK("A:\*.*", 8) // Based on example 1 "VOLO815"
