Options to Retrieve a File's Unique ID

Three new modes have been added to permit GetCtFileInfo() (short name GETFIL()) to be called to return each of the three components comprising the 12-byte Unique file ID assigned to each file at creation. The ID is comprised of a FairCom DB ID, a time stamp and a sequence number, each 4-bytes long.

GETFIL() can now be called with these new modes:

  • SERVID -- returns server ID
  • TIMEID -- returns time stamp
  • FILEID -- returns sequence number
