Get the name of the floppy drive on a single floppy system. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Syntax
GT_FlopNam() --> cFloppyName
Arguments:
None.
Returns:
Name of the floppy drive on a single floppy system.
Description:
GT_FlopNam() can be used to get the name of the floppy drive on single floppy drive systems.
Some systems have just one floppy drive that can ``act'' as either drive A: or B:. If your system attempts to access either of these drives while it is ``acting'' as the other, DOS will display a message in screen asking the user to place the disk in the drive and press any key.
Use GT_FlopCnt() to see if this could be a problem. If the machine has only one floppy drive, use GT_FlopNam() to see if the floppy drive is acting as A: or B:.
Examples:
// This example function will copy a file to the floppy drive. // Before doing so it checks that the name of the drive is ok.
function CopyToFloppy(cFileName) local cFloppy := "A:" if GT_FlopCnt() == 1 cFloppy := GT_FlopNam()+":" endif copy (cFileName) to (cFloppy+cFileName) return(NIL)
