PURPOSE
toggle memo input formatting
SYNOPSIS
#include "dbl.h" int dbmemoformat(format) <input parameters> int format; /* Memo Format flag, 0 – OFF, 1 – ON */ <output parameters> none
RETURN VALUE
The dbmemoformat() function returns 0.
DESCRIPTION
Memo formatting automatically formats memo field data when placed into the file. Spaces and other control characters are stripped if memo format is ON. This function allows access to this characteristic from within the libraries. If the input parameter is 0, function dbputm() and dbupdm() attempt no formatting of memos. Otherwise, those functions strip spaces and control characters.
EXAMPLE
This example toggles |MEMOFORMAT ON. The buffer that is to be written to the memo field will be stripped of extra spaces and control characters.
#include "dbl.h" int dbt; /* .DBT file descriptor */ char memo[512]; /* Memo buffer */ int rc; /* Return code variable */ rc = dbmemoformat(1) if( rc = dbupdm(dbt, memo, &record[53], &record[53]) ! = 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error on dbupdm(): %d\n", rc); exit(1); }
