'''DSTAT function'''

'''Syntax:''' DSTAT(device-name [,EXCP=statement-label])

'''Discussion:''' The DSTAT function returns the current status of system devices.

The device-name is the name of the device to be checked. The device-name may be a string constant, a single-element string variable, a string array element, a string expression, or a string function.

'''Detailed information:''' DSTAT of the console
DSTAT of remote terminals
DSTAT of a local printer
DSTAT of a remote printer
DSTAT of a spooler
DSTAT of the system driver (X00)
DSTAT of a gateway
DSTAT of a directory
DSTAT of the clock

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'''DSTAT of the console:'''
Position Length Description/Values
============================================================
1 3 Partition
4 1 Type
0 = Monochrome
1 = Color
2 = Monochrome with flicker-free adapter
3 = Color with flicker-free adapter
4 = EGA/VGA/MCGA Monochrome
5 = EGA/VGA/MCGA Color
6 = TeleVideo
7 = AT&T
5 1 Option
01H = Force 80-column mode
02H = Force CR the same as Qantel
04H = Auto increment cursor
08H = FAST option enabled for all files
10H = Insert key is the same as Qantel
20H = Use expanded memory for all partitions
40H = Standard I/O for keyboard
6 1 Status
7 1 Foreground attribute (color)
8 1 Background attribute (color)
9 1 Invisible attribute (color)
10 1 Border attribute (color)
11 1 Entry attribute (color)
12 2 Base address
14 2 Current column and row
16 1 BIOS mode for 132-column
17 1 Current number of columns on screen
21 1 Returns "@01@" if the session is CometAnywhere

'''DSTAT of remote terminals:'''
Position Length Description/Values
===================================================================
1 3 Partition
4 1 Type
80H = dumb terminal
81H = TeleVideo terminal
82H = Ampex terminal
83H = Qantel VT3 terminal
84H = Qantel VT6 terminal
86H = QTerm workstation
F0H = Intermec bar code reader
FEH = RDI printer
FFH = ignored terminal
5 1 not used
6 1 Status
7 1 UART
8 1 Poll address
9 1 Terminal flag
!
80H OBP Terminal Lockout (Signal to PC that FG
processing loop is active on this terminal
and effectively locks out PC from changing
anything in the term table.)
!
20H Status Poll Hold Request (PC signals don't
do status poll on this terminal.)
!
10H Select Request (OBP should initiate a
select poll (data is in the buffer)
!
08H Buffer In Use Flag (OBP should not
initiate a data poll)
!
04H Data Poll Ack Request (PC has received the
data and the buffer is clear)
!
02H Reset Request (user has hit Escape)
!
01H Data Poll Request
!
10 1 Terminal process
!
Foreground Attention Needed
0 = IDLE - Dead terminal
1 = IDLE - Active terminal
2 = Status Poll Complete
8 = Waiting to send buffer to PC
9 = Finished select - OK
A = Finished select - NG
B = Data poll complete (ACK included)
!
UART is Working on this one
10H = Doing status poll
11H = Receiving data from terminal
12H = Sending data to terminal
13H = Retransmitting to terminal (1st
retransmit)
14H = Retransmitting to terminal (2nd
retransmit)
15H = Terminal reset in progress

'''DSTAT of a local printer''' (effective with build 319):
Position Length Description
=========================================
1 3 owning partition, if any
4 1 printer type in hex: 0=Local; 4=Windows
5 1 spool type in hex
To convert the type, take the HEXASC of the byte.
Look at the first character returned by HEXASC:
'6'=Auto-spool; 'A'=Exception spool; '2'=Non-spool
6 12 spooler alias name
18 237 pathname associated with the printer

'''DSTAT of a remote printer:'''
Position Length Description
=========================================
1 3 Partition
4 1 Type
5 1 Spool Type
6 1 Status
7 1 UART
8 1 Poll Address
9 1 Terminal Flag
10 1 Terminal Process
11 1 ROM Version

'''DSTAT of a spooler:'''
Position Length Description
=====================================
1 64 DOS path name

'''DSTAT of the system driver (X00):'''Position Length Description
===================================================
1 32 (reserved)
33 16 Network node name
49 2 Number of the of first partiton
on the node (byte-reversed hex)
51 2 Total number of partitions on
the node (byte-reversed hex)
53 1 "@01@" if the user has a COM license; "@00@" otherwise

'''DSTAT of a gateway:'''
Position Length Description
=============================================
1 3 Controlling partition
4 1 Gateway type (hex)
5 1 Gateway subtype (hex)

'''DSTAT of a directory:'''
Position Length Description
======================================
1 3 Directory name
4 64 DOS path name

'''DSTAT of the clock:'''
Position Length Description
===================================
1 3 Clock name
