HPCIPUTVAR
Passes the variable information specified in itemnum . Refer to Table 7-6.,
“HPCIPUTVAR Itemnum/Item Values,” on page 329.
Itemnum 14
Given the (Pascal) code fragment
...
my_var := 'TESTVAR ';
var_value := 'Hello world';
val_len := 11;
item := 0; { default }
...
HPCIPUTVAR(my_var, status, 2, var_value,
11, val_len, 14, item)
The value of
item will set the type (and value) of my_var based upon an interpretation of
var_value :
Table 7-6. HPCIPUTVAR Itemnum/Item Values
Itemnun Mnemonic Item Description
0 Itemnum/item pair ignored
1 I32 Integer value assigned to specified variable name (input):
No other pairs are needed and, if specified, will cause an error. Default:
Not considered an integer value.
2 CA String value assigned to specified variable name (input):
Default: Not a string variables.
Note: Requires itemnum 11. Itemnum 14 may be used with strings to
set the type and value of varname .
3 I32 The Boolean value to be assigned to the specified variable name (input).
Nonzero for a true value, zero for a false value.
Default: Not a boolean variable.
11 I32V Actual length of value string assigned to variable name (input):
Itemnum / item pair 11 must be passed whenever itemnum 2 is passed.
14 I32 String interpretation (strings only; may be used only with itemnum =2)
(input).
If you specify itemnum =14, the value of its corresponding item defines
the type-representation (and the value) of varname based upon an
interpretation of the item paired with itenum =2. Refer to "Itemnum
14".
Default: 0 (zero).
