FN_GFSDTIM()
Get Netware file server date and time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
fn_gFSdTim() -> { dDate, cTime }
Arguments
None
Returns
A two element array. The first element is the current file
server date, and the second element is the current file
server time.
If anything goes wrong with the function, you'll simply get
a null date and an empty string for the time.
Description
This call obtains the current file server date and time.
This function can be used to synchronize workstation
clocks to the file server time. This can be used as a
security measure if some program depends on the current
time.
Examples
/* Here is a replacement for the Netware utility SYSTIME,
written in Clipper. Note that SYSTIME updates the
current workstation date and time, as well as tells you
what the default file server's date and time is.
Requires NANFOR.LIB, of course.
*/
