FN_ATTCHFS()
Attach to file server
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
fn_attchFS( <cFileServerName> ) -> lSuccess
Arguments
<cFileServerName> is the file server to attach to
Returns
A logical indicating whether this workstation successfully attached
to the designated file server.
Description
This function allows the workstation to attach to a designated file
server. A workstation may be attached to up to 8 file servers. To
use this function, the workstation must already be attached to at
least one file server.
Check fn_Error() upon return for any information regarding why
an attempt to attach failed. Also, if you attempted to attach to
a server to which you were already attached, fn_attchFS() will return
TRUE, indicating that you are still attached, however will set the
error value returned by fn_Error() to EALREADY_ATTACHED.
Please note that fn_attchFS() simply attaches you to a file server.
To log in to that server, you must make it the preferred server,
then login with a name and password.
Examples
IF !fn_attchFS( "SALES" ) // attach to server
<... unable to attach ...>
ELSE
aFSNameTable := fn_FSName() // get list of attached servers
// to find ConnectionID
nConnID := ASCAN( aFSNameTable, {|e| e == "SALES" })
fn_SPFCID( nConnID ) // set preferred server
// and log in to it
fn_loginFS( "SLARSEN", OT_USER, "dork" )
ENDIF
