profldix() - Return Field Handle

Returns a field handle for a specified field within a shared buffer. The handle is returned as an integer value. The shared buffer can also refer to a TEMP-TABLE.

On successful completion, profldix() returns the field handle for the field; otherwise, it returns a negative value:

Syntax

int profldix ( pbufnam, pfldnam ) char *pbufnam; char *pfldnam;

pbufnam

Points to the name of the shared buffer containing the specified field. You supply the name from your OpenEdge application.

pfldnam

Points to the name of the specified field within the buffer. You supply the name from your Progress application.

Note

All other shared buffer access functions require the field handle that profldix() returns.
