DRV.NAME

Description

You can assign a unique name to any drive under the following conditions:

  • Only use ASCII characters
  • Max length of 10 characters
  • No spaces in name

This name is one way to identify the drive in a multiple drive network (for instance, in a TCP/IP network on which multiple drives reside).

From the terminal screen, DRV.NAME returns the name of the drive as ASCII characters.
