Examples

   1.$ FILE_ORG = F$FILE_ATTRIBUTES("QUEST.DAT","ORG")
     $ SHOW SYMBOL FILE_ORG
       FILE_ORG = "SEQ"

     This example uses the F$FILE_ATTRIBUTES function to assign the
     value of the file organization type to the symbol FILE_ORG. The
     F$FILE_ATTRIBUTES function returns the character string SEQ to
     show that QUEST.DAT is a sequential file.

     The QUEST.DAT and ORG arguments for the F$FILE_ATTRIBUTES
     function are string literals and must be enclosed in quotation
     marks (" ")  when used in expressions.

   2.$ RFM = F$FILE_ATTRIBUTES("KANSAS::USE$:[CARS]SALES.CMD","RFM")
     $ SHOW SYMBOL RFM
       RFM = "VAR"

     This example uses the F$FILE_ATTRIBUTES function to return
     information about a file on a remote node. The function returns
     the record format string VAR, indicating that records are
     variable length.
