mi_integer mi_streamwrite_decimal(strm_desc, dec_ptr)
   MI_STREAM *strm_desc;
   mi_decimal *dec_ptr;

strm_desc

is a pointer to the stream descriptor for the open stream to which to write the mi_decimal value.

dec_ptr

is a pointer to the mi_decimal value to write to the stream.

Valid in Client LIBMI Application?	Valid in User-Defined Routine?
No	Yes

The mi_streamwrite_decimal( ) function writes an mi_decimal value to the stream that strm_desc references. The function writes the value that dec_ptr references. The write operation begins at the current stream seek position. You can use mi_stream_tell( ) or mi_stream_getpos( ) to obtain this seek position.

The mi_streamwrite_decimal( ) function is useful in a streamwrite( ) support function of an opaque data type that contains an mi_decimal value.

>=0

is the actual number of bytes that the function has written to the open stream.

MI_STREAM_EEOF

indicates that the end of the stream has been reached.

MI_STREAM_EBADARG

indicates that the stream descriptor that strm_desc references or the value that dec_ptr references is invalid.

MI_ERROR

indicates that the function was not successful.
