DBFSIZE()
Determines the size of a selected (.dbf) file in memory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
DBFSIZE() --> nFileSize
Returns
DBFSIZE() returns the byte size of the current database in working
memory.
Description
DBFSIZE() determines how much room a database occupies, before you write
this file to a disk. The function is also useful when used in
conjunction with DBFDSKSIZE(). When the results for both functions
indicate there is a deviation in the size of a database, this means a
portion of the data is not yet written to the floppy/hard disk. You can
also determine if and when new input is written to a floppy/hard disk.
Note
. This function always operates on the currently SELECTed work
area.
Example
Can a (.dbf) file be copied to the target disk?
USE DATA
IF DISKFREE("A") < DBFSIZE()
? "The file can not be copied."
? "Insufficient space remaining on disk."
ELSE.
COPY TO A:COPY
ENDIF
