The STATUS statement (not the same as the STATUS function) returns a dynamic array of
information about an open file. According to the BASIC manual, there are 30 fields.
A little research has revealed that there are, in fact, 32 fields returned.
Field 31 is the "magic number", for example ACEF010B.
Field 32 is an indicator of addressing mode. 1 = 32-bit old format, 3 = 32-bit new
format, 5 = 64-bit.
Code:
OpenPath hashedfilepath To FileVariable
Then
Status FileStuff From FileVariable
Then
If FileStuff<32> = 5
Then
* file uses 64-bit addressing
End
Else
* file uses 32-bit addressing
End
End
End
