 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"
