GetOsInfo

Note that this routine is not fast.

For pure speed you're probably better off running shell commands to parse the directory information you are looking for. This works well for a generic utility that you can use in UniData to take a quick look at the directories or grab item information.

Here are some dictionaries that you can use to call this routine (I keep them in the VOC so I can run them on any file):

OS.DATE:
IReturn Operating System date on the file
SUBR("GET.OS.INFO",@ID,'D')
D4
    OS Date
11R
S

OS.TIME:
IReturn Operating System time on the file
SUBR("GET.OS.INFO",@ID,'T')
MTS
 OS Time
8R
S

OS.PRIV:
IReturn Operating System priveleges on the file
SUBR("GET.OS.INFO",@ID,'P')
 
OS Priv
5L
S

OS.SIZE:
IReturn Operating System size on the file
SUBR("GET.OS.INFO",@ID,'S')

        OS Size
15R
S

OS.INFO:
IReturn Operating System Info
SUBR("GET.OS.INFO",@ID,'')
