Name native data type table

With a Name Native data type table (table type 3), the caller needs to know what the name of the parameter is that is being set. This temp-table type requires the use of the setupTTFromSig call to build the temp-table required to make the call.

Figure A–3 shows the definition of the Name native data type temp-table.

DEFINE TEMP-TABLE ttCallParam NO-UNDO FIELD cParamName AS CHARACTER FIELD cCharacter AS CHARACTER FIELD tDate AS DATE FIELD lLogical AS LOGICAL FIELD iInteger AS INTEGER FIELD dDecimal AS DECIMAL FIELD aRaw AS RAW FIELD hHandle AS HANDLE FIELD rRowid AS ROWID INDEX pudx IS UNIQUE PRIMARY cParamName.

Figure A–3: Name native data type table definition

The code in Example A–10 illustrates how to set up a Name native data type table (table type 3).

Example A–10: Name native data type table 

/* Include the temp-table definition */ {src/adm2/calltables.i &PARAM-TABLE-TYPE = "3"} /* Create the parameter values into the parameter value table */ CREATE ttCallParam. ASSIGN ttCallParam.cParamName = "pcChar" ttCallParam.cCharacter = "aaa" . CREATE ttCallParam. ASSIGN ttCallParam.cParamName = "piInt" ttCallParam.iInteger = 12 . CREATE ttCallParam. ASSIGN ttCallParam.cParamName = "phHndl" ttCallParam.hHandle = ? .

Note: There is no need to specify the mode or data type of the parameter as these are derived from the signature of the call and placed in the appropriate field. However, when using this table type, the value of the parameter being set must be set in the correct data type field, otherwise the value is never retrieved.
