Hi,
I often use something like this for ftest

Hi QLers,
for some years I have a similar behaviour on my SMSQ/E bug list.
Just enter VIEW & . In case DATAD$ is set to a valid WINx_ (or FLPx_)

You could use max_devs and dev_name from the truly wonderful DJTOOLKIT too, if
you were inclined! I'm surprised that DJ didn't mention it! ;)

Does this ommit TK2?

Using Turbo Toolkit’s DEVICE_STATUS might be safer.

Well, in the first place, I always thought, that FTEST makes an direct check
on the file or device, omitting every TK2 occurence. Unfortunately, I was
wrong.

This is an important point. This is not an OS feature, i.e. the raw
TRAPs do not behave this way, it's strictly a feature of the BASIC
commands. That

That would actually be a somewhat cool feature, but DELETE is not as
cool, so nothing will happen. Try it :) WD
I think it's just that Marcel normally just uses DATA_USE dev1_ on his

Clearly the directory pointed to by DATAD$ exists, so why whould it
return -7?

I tried this and it worked as reported. I then did this:
data_use ""
then I ran it again, and got the error message. This confirms that
datad$ is being picked up and used in the FTEST.
