FN_STAADDR()
GetStationAddress
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
fn_staAddr() -> cPhysicalNodeAddress
Arguments
None
Returns
The calling workstation's physical node address, that is the address
of the workstation's NIC, as a 12 digit hexidecimal character string.
If error, an empty string is returned. Use fn_Error() to determine
the nature of the error. If the NetWare Shell is not loaded,
fn_Error() will return ENO_SHELL, otherwise, fn_Error() will return
a DOS/NetWare error code.
Description
This function returns the calling workstation's physical node
address, which is the address of the workstation's NIC.
Since each station must have a unique physical node address on any
given network, this function could be useful in deriving unique
temporary filenames, among other things.
Examples
? fn_staAddr() // "00AB031002F8"
