Informix DataBlade API Programmer's Manual DataBlade API Function Descriptions

The mi_fp_setargtype() accessor routine sets the type identifier for the data type of an argument of a user-defined routine in its associated MI_FPARAM structure.

void mi_fp_setargtype(fparam_ptr, arg_pos, arg_typeid)

MI_FPARAM *fparam_ptr;

mi_integer arg_pos;

MI_TYPEID *arg_typeid;

fparam_ptr	is a pointer to the associated MI_FPARAM structure.
arg_pos	is the index position into the argument-type array for the argument whose type identifier you want to set.
arg_typeid	is a pointer to the type identifier that specifies the data type to set for the arg_pos + 1 argument.

Valid in Client LIBMI Application?	Valid in User-Defined Routine?
Yes	Yes

The mi_fp_setargtype() function sets the type identifier of the routine argument at position arg_pos in the MI_FPARAM structure that fparam_ptr references. The type identifier indicates a particular data type. The MI_FPARAM structure stores information about the type identifiers of routine arguments in the zero-based argument-type array. To set information about the nth argument, use an arg_pos value of n-1.

For example, the following call to mi_fp_setargtype() obtains the type identifier for the third argument of the my_func() UDR, with which fparam1 is associated:

mi_integer my_func(...., fparam1)
	

	MI_FPARAM *fparam1;
{
	MI_TYPEID *arg_type;
	

	arg_type = mi_type_
	mi_fp_setargtype(fparam1, 2, arg_type);

None.

See the descriptions of the following functions: mi_fp_argtype(), mi_fp_setargisnull(), mi_fp_setarglen(), mi_fp_setargprec(), mi_fp_setargscale(), mi_fp_rettype(), and mi_fp_setrettype().
