PA_SetPackedRecord


version 2003


PA_SetPackedRecord (tNum; buffer; bufferSize)

Parameter Type Description
tNum short Table number
buffer void * Buffer to the memory block containing data
bufferSize long Buffer size in bytes

Description

The routine PA_SetPackedRecord fills all the fields of the current record of the table number tNum , using the data passed in buffer of size bufferSize .

The routine does nothing if there is no current record when the call is made.

The buffer to the block of data containing the concatenation of all fields of a record must have been previously obtained using PA_GetPackedRecord . The table used when calling PA_GetPackedRecord and PA_SetPackedRecord must have an identical table definition. Passing a buffer to an other type of data may provoke unexpected results.
