FN_BTOC()
Broadcast to file server console
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
fn_btoc( cMsg ) -> lSuccess
Arguments
<cMsg>, a character string representing the message you want
to send to the file server console. Can be no longer than
60 characters.
Returns
Logical TRUE (.t.) if the call succeeds; FALSE (.f.) if it
doesn't. If it fails, you can check fn_error() for one of
the following:
252 Message queue is full
254 I/O failure due to lack of "dynamic workspace",
whatever that means. Isn't it enough to know
it just didn't work?
Description
Use this call to send a broadcast message to the file server
console. This sends to the default server's console.
This would be useful for auditing, or for alerting the
file server operator ("Load the backup tape!") or something
of that nature.
Good for letting network supervisors know your powerful
Clipper app is running yet again.
Examples
fn_btoc( "Warning: Someone is using a Clipper app" )
