_storc()
Assign a character value to a referenced variable using a null-terminated
string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C Prototype
#include "extend.api"
int _storc(
char far * fpString,
int iParamNum
[, int iArrayIndex]
)
Arguments
fpString is a far pointer to a null-terminated string representing
the character value to be assigned.
iParamNum is the one-based ordinal position in the parameter list of
the parameter to be assigned.
iArrayIndex is an array index that specifies a particular element if
the iParamNum parameter is an array.
Returns
_storc() returns one if the function is successful; otherwise, it
returns zero.
Description
_storc() stores a character value to a variable passed by reference as a
parameter from CA-Clipper. If the parameter specified by iParamNum is
not passed by reference, _storc() ignores the call and returns a value
of zero.
_storc() determines the logical length of the character value by
scanning the supplied string for a null terminator byte. If you are
attempting to assign binary data that may contain embedded null bytes,
use _storclen() instead.
Note: _storc() automatically allocates memory in the CA-Clipper
heap and makes a copy of the supplied string. The string need not be
preserved after the call to _storc().
Examples
. From C:
_storc("hello world", 1);
. From Assembly language:
EXTRN __storc:FAR
mov ax, 1 ; iParamNum
push ax
mov dx, seg MyString ; pass address of string
; (creation of string not shown)
mov ax, offset MyString
push dx
push ax
call __storc
add sp, 6 ; reset stack pointer
Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB, header file is Extend.api.
