Informix DataBlade API Programmer's Manual DataBlade API Function Descriptions

The rstol() function converts a null-terminated string into a long integer value.

mint rstol(string,  long_int)

	char  *string;

	mlong  *long_int;

 



string

is a pointer to a null-terminated string. 


long_int  

is a pointer to an mlong value that holds the converted value. 

The legal range of values is from -2,147,483,647 to 2,147,483,647. The value -2,147,483,648 is not valid because this value is a reserved value that indicates null.
