xcall MIAMEX, MX_FINDEND
The A-Shell directory scanning system only permits the scanning of one directory at a time with the use of the MX_FINDFIRST and MX_FINDNEXT functions. Once the processing of that directory has been completed, then the MX_FINDEND (MIAMEX 23) function must be used to terminate and free up any data areas associated with the scan. The recommended logic for scanning a directory is:
xcall MIAMEX, MX_FINDFIRST, path, status, filename, size, attrib
do while STATUS = 0
....
.. Process directory item here
....
XCALL MIAMEX, MX_FINDNEXT, status, filename, size, attrib
loop
! terminate directory search and free resources
xcall MIAMEX,MX_FINDEND
See the History note in MX_FINDFIRST.
