prordbd() - Read DATE Field

The prordbd() function reads the value of a DATE field in a shared buffer.

On successful completion, prordbd() returns 0; otherwise, it returns a non-zero value:

Syntax

int prordbd ( pbufnam, fhandle, index, pyear, pmonth, pday, punknown ) char *pbufnam; int fhandle; int index; int *pyear; int *pmonth; int *pday; int *punknown;

pbufnam

This input parameter points to the name of the specified shared buffer.

fhandle

This input parameter is the field handle that profldix() returns for the specified field.

index

This input parameter specifies an index value for an array field. If the field is not an array, you must set the value of index to 0.

pyear

This output parameter points to an integer where prordbd() returns the value of year.

pmonth

This output parameter points to an integer where prordbd() returns the value of month.

pday

This output parameter points to an integer where prordbd() returns the value of day.

punknown

This output parameter points to an integer where prordbd() returns 1 if the field has Unknown value (?), and returns 0 otherwise.
