Hi,
This may be a very simple question but I don't seem to find what is the command to get the information from "help,/device" into memory?

In need to use some of the information returned by that command.

Thanks in advance,

Andry

Use the OUTPUT keyword to put the results into a variable.

Help, /Device, Output=myDeviceInfo

Cheers,
