Partition areas which meet the qualifications of being a subdirec
tory can then be selected by the following command.
PRINT#file#;70:partition name"
Once selected, the partition area cannot be used as a sub-directo
ry until it is formatted. The HEADER or NEW commands are used to
format this sub-disk area. Make sure that you have successfully select
ed this partition area before formatting. If not, the wrong directory
area will be reformatted. You can check if the area was successfully
selected by checking the error channel. If everything went OK, the
error channel would read:
02, SELECTED PARTITION,first track #,last track #
If the area you attempt to select does not meet the qualifications
of a sub-directory, then the error channel would return:
77, SELECTED PARTITION ILLEGAL,00,00
Only one level of subdirectory can be selected at a time. To get
from the ROOT to PART21 you would have to execute the command
twice.
PRINT#file#,70:PART2"
PRINT#file#,70:PART21"
Directories can only be traversed in the forward direction. To get
to a sub-directory which is on a node above the presently selected
node of the tree, you must select the ROOT directory and work your
way down the tree, selecting a branch at a time. To get to the ROOT
directory directly from any node type:
PRINT#file#,7"
