Results

The result type is LOGICAL(4). On Windows* systems, the result is .TRUE. if successful; otherwise, .FALSE. On Linux* and Mac OS* systems, the result is always .FALSE..

Because drives are identified by a single alphabetic character, CHANGEDRIVEQQ examines only the first character of drive. The drive letter can be uppercase or lowercase.

CHANGEDRIVEQQ changes only the current drive. The current directory on the specified drive becomes the new current directory. If no current directory has been established on that drive, the root directory of the specified drive becomes the new current directory.
