SMSQ/E

This command allows you to access the various parameters which are contained in the header of the file attached to the specified channel (default #3). The command will set the supplied parameters to the required information.

If the specified channel is not open to a file, then an Invalid Parameter error is reported.

The information returned is as follows:

  • length = Length of the File

  • access = File Access Key

  • type = File Type

  • dataspace = Dataspace for Executable Files

  • extra = Extra Information

NOTE

You will not be able to compile this command with Turbo or SuperCharge due to the fact that it alters its own parameters.
