Checking To See If A File Is In Use On A Netw |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The customer wanted a way to find out if another user on a network is working on the same file. To do this, you can assign {SYSTEM}NAME~ to a variable and the bracket showing that the file is already open somewhere else will also be assigned to the variable. For example, if the filename is TEST.TST and if assigned to a variable while only one user is using it, the filename would be assigned as TEST.TST. But, if someone else is using the file, it will be assigned as TEST.TST]. You can evaluate the last character to see if it is a bracket (]), and if it is, you will know that the file is currently in use. |
