---|---|
disk |
A valid disk. If this parameter evaluates to an integer value, it is assumed to refer to a disk equal to the integer added to the character "A." If this parameter specifies a string, no modifications are performed. A string argument with a 0 length assumes the current disk. |
ERR=lineref |
Branch to be taken if an error occurs during execution. |
The returned string contains the full path name, without the specified disk. A "/" character is always appended to the directory name.
