Description

Returns the fully qualified path and filename of the active document.

FUNCTION GetFPathName( ) :STRING;

def vs.GetFPathName():
    return STRING

Remarks

On the Mac, this returns gibberish if the file has not been saved yet. To trap for this, use GetFName to see if the filename starts with 'Untitled'.

On the Mac, it also returns gibberish if the file name is greater than 28 characters in length.

Example

PROCEDURE Example;
BEGIN
   Message(GetFPathName);
