prowtbc() - Write CHARACTER Field

The prowtbc() function writes a string value to a CHARACTER field in a shared buffer.

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

Syntax

int prowtbc ( pbufnam, fhandle, index, pvar, unknown ) char *pbufnam; int fhandle; int index; char *pvar; int unknown;

pbufnam

This input parameter points to the name of the specified shared buffer. You supply the name from your OpenEdge application.

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.

pvar

This input parameter points to a buffer containing the character string value for the specified CHARACTER field. The character string must be null-terminated.

unknown

If this input parameter contains the value 1, the Unknown value (?) is assigned to the variable. If this input parameter contains the value 0, the input value contained in pvar is assigned to the variable.
