The ifx_var_setdata() function

Syntax

mint ifx_var_setdata(var_bin, buffer, buf_len)
   var binary **var_bin;
   char *buffer;
   int4 buf_len;

mint ifx_var_setdata(lvar, buffer, buf_len)
   lvarchar **lvar;
   char *buffer;
   int4 buf_len;

buffer

A character buffer that contains the data to store in the lvar or var_bin host variable.

buf_len

The length, in bytes, of the buffer.

var_bin

The address of the var binary host variable.

lvar

The address of the lvarchar pointer host variable.

Usage

The ifx_var_setdata() function stores the data in buffer in the data buffer of the lvar or var_bin host variable. For an lvarchar pointer host variable, expects the data inside buffer to be null-terminated ASCII data.
