#SYSTEMNAME Built-In Function

Use #SYSTEMNAME to obtain the name of a system, given its network node number.

system-number

is the number of the system whose name is to be found. The system number is an

integer in the range 0 to 254.

Result

#SYSTEMNAME returns the name of the system if the system can be reached, -2 if all

paths to the system are down, or -1 if the system is not defined.

Consideration

To obtain the network node number of a system, use the #SYSTEMNUMBER built-in

function.

Example

These code tests for system availability and displays the node name if the system is

available:

?SECTION getname MACRO

#PUSH name

#SET name [#SYSTEMNAME %1%]

[#CASE [name]

| -2 | #OUTPUT System %1% is not available

| -1 | #OUTPUT System %1% is not defined

|OTHERWISE| #OUTPUT System %1% (node name [name]) is &

available

]

#SYSTEMNAME system-number
