FILESTAT—statistics for a file

Use the FILESTAT service to determine statistics about a file on the connected workstation. FILESTAT returns information that the file exists, the longest length record in the file, and the date and time on the file.

Note: Be aware that when the FILESTAT service is issued for certain reserved or restricted operating system file names, your workstation operating system or host system can cease to function, or "hang". See your workstation operating system documentation to note reserved or restricted file names.
