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

The ifx_int8copy() function copies one int8 structure to another.

void ifx_int8copy(source,  target)

	ifx_int8_t *source;

	ifx_int8_t *target;

 



source  

is a pointer to the int8 structure that contains the source int8 value to copy.


target

is a pointer to the target int8 structure.

The ifx_int8copy() function does not return a status value. To determine the success of the copy operation, look at the contents of the int8 structure to which the target argument points.

The file int8copy.ec in the demo directory contains the following sample program.

/*
* ifx_int8copy.ec *

The following program copies one INT8 number to another.

#include <stdio.h>

EXEC SQL include "int8.h";

char string1[] = "-12,888,999,555,333";
char result[41];

{
mint x;

printf("IFX_INT8COPY Sample ESQL Program running.\n\n");
