lrd_col_data

Example: lrd_col_dataRetrieval Handling Functions

Sets a pointer indicating the location of data.

LRDRET lrd_col_data( LRD_CURSOR *mptCursor, unsigned int muiColNum, long mliOffset, LRD_VAR_DESC *mptVarDesc, unsigned long *mpuliFetchedLen, int miDBErrorSeverity);

mptCursor A pointer to an LRD_CURSOR structure.
muiColNum The column number of the requested data (one-based).
mliOffset The offset from the beginning of the column data.
mptVarDesc A pointer to the descriptor of a variable which contains the fetched data.
mpuliFetchedLen A pointer to the variable indicating the length of the fetched data.
miDBErrorSeverity The Error Severity Levels of a failure in a database routine.

The lrd_col_data function sets a pointer to the data of a specific column. This function accesses data without performing a bind operation. Note that to reference data (through pointers) you must cast it to its appropriate type. lrd_col_data only appears in the print.inl file located in the script directory.

When you retrieve data using lrd_col_data, you must convert the character strings into printable data using lrd_to_printable.

For more details refer to the Function Header File lrd.h in the include directory.
