Informix DataBlade API Programmer's Manual DataBlade API Function Descriptions

The mi_fix_smallint() function converts the specified 2-byte integer to or from the byte order of the client computer.

mi_unsigned_integer mi_fix_smallint (val)

mi_unsigned_integer val;

val	is the 2-byte integer on which to fix the byte order.

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

The mi_fix_smallint() function is useful in send and receive support functions for opaque data types when the opaque type contains mi_smallint components that need to be converted to and from the client byte order.

For maximum portability, this function accepts and returns fully promoted mi_integer values instead of mi_smallint values. Arguments and return values might therefore require casting.

See the descriptions of the following functions: mi_fix_integer(), mi_get_bytes(), mi_get_double_precision(), mi_get_integer(), mi_get_smallint(), mi_put_bytes(), mi_put_double_precision(), mi_put_integer(), and mi_put_smallint().
