1.22
Function
The FILEDATE, FILETIME, FILESIZE, FILESTAT and FILEINFO commands can be used to
read particular pieces of file information, such as date, time, current file size, file status or the
sum of this information from the user memory of the NCK (passive file system).
The currently set protection level must be equal to or greater than the show right of the
superordinate directory. If this is not the case, access is denied with an error message
(error=13).
Application:
Provision of new file information if a file has changed for the user and this is for example to
be recalculated.

Name/path of the file to be read (call-by-value parameter of
type STRING with a max. length of 160 bytes).
The file must be stored in the user memory of the NCK (passive
file system). The file name can be preceded by the domain
identifier _N_. If the domain identifier is missing, it is
added correspondingly.
The file identifier ("_" plus 3 characters), e.g., _SPF) is
optional. If there is no identifier, the file name is
automatically added _MPF.
If there is no path specified in "file", the file is searched
for in the current directory (=directory of selected program).
If a path is specified in "file", it must start with a slash
"/" (absolute path indication).
