Extending HCL OneDB™Beyond standard relational database objects, HCL OneDB™ can be extended to handle specialized data types, access methods, routines, and other objects. HCL OneDB™ includes many built-in extensions that are fully integrated in the database server. HCL OneDB™ also provides DataBlade® modules, which are packages of extended database objects for a particular purpose and that are installed separately from the database server. Alternatively, you can create your own user-defined objects for HCL OneDB™.
Creating extensionsYou can create user-defined data types, routines, access methods, and other database objects to suit your needs. You can use application programming interfaces to write user-defined routines and applications that access data in HCL OneDB™ databases.
DataBlade® API Function ReferenceThe HCL OneDB™ DataBlade® API Function Reference describes the DataBlade® API functions and the subset of functions that the DataBlade® API supports.
Function descriptionsThis section gives comprehensive reference information about the functions that are valid within DataBlade® API modules. It lists the function descriptions in alphabetical order, with syntax, usage information, and return values for the functions.
The stchar() functionThe stchar() function stores a null-terminated string in a fixed-length string, padding the end with blanks, if necessary.

The stchar() function

The stchar() function stores a null-terminated string in a fixed-length string, padding the end with blanks, if necessary.

Syntax

void stchar(from, to, count)
   char *from;
   char *to;
   mint count;

from: A pointer to the first byte of a null-terminated source string.
to: A pointer to the fixed-length destination string. This argument can point to a location that overlaps the location to which the from argument points. In this case, the function discards the value to which from points.
count: The number of bytes in the fixed-length destination string.
