How to get the PC name

[Lars]

Hello,
is there a way to read the name of the PC with LabView 5.1? I can read the
OS, the version and the username, but not the name of the PC.
Thank you for your help.
Regrads,
Lars

There is an example that ships with Labview that uses a call library function
to do what you are asking. Search examples and go to Calling external code
and then open the example Hostname.
