CONFIG_GETINFO_BYLDEV
CONFIG_GETINFO_BYNAME
Obtain the logical and physical attributes of a device on a G-series release. Use the 
CONFIG_GETINFO_BYLDEV procedure to specify the device by logical device 
number. Use the CONFIG_GETINFO_BYNAME procedure to specify the device by 
name.
Note. These procedures are supported only on G-series releases. To obtain information about 
devices on D-series releases, call one of the following procedures:  
FILE_GETINFOBYNAME_, DEVICE_GETINFOBYNAME_, or DEVICE_GETINFOBYLDEV_.

error, INT(32) returned value
0D Information was successfully returned.
1D Either the device or the process simulating a device detected a file-system error; 
error-detail contains a file-system error number.
2D Parameter error; error-detail contains the number of the first parameter to 
be in error, where 1D designates the first parameter on the left.
3D Bounds error; error-detail contains the number of the first parameter to be 
in error, where 1D designates the first parameter on the left.
4D Either the device or the process simulating a device detected an error; error-
detail contains the error number returned by the device.
