prowtc() - Write CHARACTER Variable

The prowtc() function writes a character-string value to a shared CHARACTER variable.

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

Syntax

int prowtc ( psymnam, index, pvar, unknown ) char *psymnam; int index; char *pvar; int unknown;

psymnam

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

index

This input parameter specifies an index value for an array variable. If the variable 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 variable. 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.
