# CHANGEDRIVEQQ

Portability Function: Makes the specified drive the current, default drive.

## Module

USE IFPORT

result = CHANGEDRIVEQQ (drive)

drive | (Input) Character*(*). String beginning with the drive letter.

## Results

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

## Example

      USE IFPORT
      LOGICAL(4) status
      status = CHANGEDRIVEQQ('d')

Parent topic: C to D
