prowtbd() - Write DATE Field

The prowtbd() function writes a date value to a DATE field in a shared buffer.

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

Syntax

int prowtbd ( pbufnam, fhandle, index, year, month, day, unknown ) char *pbufnam; int fhandle; int index; int year; int month; int day; 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.

year

This input parameter contains the year value for the specified DATE field.

month

This input parameter contains the month value for the specified DATE field.

day

This input parameter contains the day value for the specified DATE field.

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 year, month, and day is assigned to the variable.
