SQLBindCol (Core Level Only)

SQLBindCol assigns the storage and Informix ODBC Driver C data type for a column in a result set, as follows:

A storage buffer that receives the contents of a column of data
The length of the storage buffer
A storage location that receives the actual length of the column of data returned by the fetch operation
Data type conversion from the Informix SQL data type to the Informix ODBC Driver C data type

The following table describes the SQLSTATE and error values for SQLBindCol.

SQLSTATE	Error Value	Error Message
01000	-11001	General warning
S1000	-11060	General error
S1001	-11061	Memory-allocation failure
S1002	-11062	Invalid column number
S1003	-11063	Program type out of range
S1010	-11067	Function-sequence error
S1090	-11071	Invalid string or buffer length
S1C00	-11092	Driver not capable

Important:

An application can call SQLBindCol to bind a column to a new storage location, regardless of whether data has already been fetched. The new binding replaces the old binding for bookmark columns as well as other bound columns. The new binding does not apply to data already fetched; it takes effect the next time SQLFetch, SQLExtendedFetch, or SQLSetPos is called.
