NETLOCNAME()
Determines the name of a local redirected device
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
NETLOCNAME(<nDevice>) --> cDeviceName
Argument
<nDevice> Designates the location within the DOS redirection table.
Returns
NETLOCNAME() returns the local name for the designated location in the
DOS redirection table (<nDevice>), or a null string if no name is
available.
Description
NETWORK LOCAL NAME
Under PC LAN/MS-NET, server devices can be redirected to local devices
using the NET USE <local> <remote> command. DOS logs these redirections
in its redirection table. In this way, NETLOCNAME() allows you to
determine all the local devices that have been redirected to a server
device.
Note
. Using NETRMTNAME() allows you to determine the name of the
corresponding server device.
Example
Determine all the local devices that have been redirected to a server
device:
nCounter := 0
cLocalName := NETLOCNAME(nCounter)
DO WHILE .NOT. EMPTY(cLocalName)
? cLocalName // Display local device
nCounter := nCounter +1
cLocalName := NETLOCNAME(nCounter)
ENDDO
