INFORMIX-ESQL/C Programmer's Manual ESQL/C Function Library

The ifx_var_setdata() function stores data in an lvarchar or var binary host variable.

mint ifx_var_setdata(var_bin, buffer, buf_len)

	var binary **var_bin;

	char *buffer;

	int4 buf_len;

mint ifx_var_setdata(lvar, buffer, buf_len)

	lvarchar **lvar;

	char *buffer;

	int4 buf_len;

 



buffer

is a character buffer that contains the data to store in the lvar or var_bin host variable.


buf_len

is the length, in bytes, of the buffer.


var_bin  

is the address of the var binary host variable. 


lvar

is the address of the lvarchar pointer host variable.

The ifx_var_setdata() function stores the data in buffer in the data buffer of the lvar or var_bin host variable. For an lvarchar pointer host variable, ESQL/C expects the data inside buffer to be null-terminated ASCII data.
