NNETRDITM()
 Reads an item property segment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     NNETRDITM(<cObjName>,<nType>,<cProperty>,[<nSeg>],
        [<lMode>],[<cServer>|<nConId>]) --> cPropValue

     Netware: 2.2 and 3.11

 Arguments

     <cObjName>  Designates the name of the bindery object that is
     processed.

     <nType>  Designates the object type of <cObjName>.  The header file
     CTNNET.CH contains symbolic constants for a number of object types.
     When you work with numeric values, take into account that, for
     efficiency reasons, NNETRDITM() expects the object type in the high-low
     format.

     <cPropName>  Designates the name of the property that is processed.
     <cPropName> must describe an item property.

     <nSeg>  Designates the number of the segment that is read.  The
     smallest possible number, as well as the default value, is 1.

     <lMode>  Designates whether the contents of the property are
     interpreted as text (<lMode> = .F.) or as binary byte sequence (<lMode>
     = .T.).  The default value is .F..  If text, NNETRDITM() returns the
     characters up to the first occurrence of a terminator 0.  In binary
     mode, all 128 bytes of the required property segment are returned.

     <cServer>  Designates the name of the file server for which the
     bindery is accessed.  Your workstation must be attached to <cServer>.

     <nConId>  Designates the connection ID of your workstation on
     <cServer>.

 Returns

     NNETRDITM() returns the contents of the specified property segment in
     the form of a character string.  In text mode, the returned string
     contains all characters up to the first occurrence of a terminator 0.
     In binary mode, the string always contains 128 characters.  If an error
     occurs, the function returns an empty string.

 Description

     NOVELL NET READ ITEM PROPERTY
     Internally, Novell Netware defines two property types:  item and set
     property.  With NNETRDITM(), you can read the contents of an item
     property.  Item properties can contain any type of data.  The
     information within an item property is organized in segments that have a
     constant length of 128 bytes.  NNETRDITM() allows you to read single
     segments (<nSeg>) of a property (<cPropName>) of a bindery object,
     specified by <cObjName> and <nType>.  The organization of the
     information within a segment depends on the property.  With <lMode> you
     can specify if segment contains text or a binary sequence (see the
     arguments).  An example for text mode is the property IDENTIFICATION.
     The IDENTIFICATION property contains a bindery object's full name as a
     zero-terminated ASCII character string.  An example for the binary mode
     is the property LOGIN_CONTROL.  The property LOGIN_CONTROL contains
     binary-coded information about a user's access limits.  To avoid
     incorrect results when working with binary-coded information, the
     parameter <lMode> must be designated .T..

     To read all property segments, call NNETRDITM() with an incrementing
     value for <nSeg> until NNETRDITM() returns an empty string and
     NNETERROR() returns 236.

     With the parameters <cServer> or <nConId>, the bindery of any attached
     file server can be accessed.  The connection ID of a file server is
     returned by NNETATTACH() or NNETLOGIN().

     The function NNETRDITM() requires sufficient bindery and property access
     rights.  The necessary property access rights depend on the property
     security of the property that is read.

 Examples

     .  Determine the full name of user MIKE:

        #include "ctnnet.ch"

        ? NNETRDITM('MIKE',OBJ_USER,'IDENTIFICATION')

     .  Determine the date of the last login of user MIKE:

        #include "ctnnet.ch"

        cBuf=NNETRDITM('MIKE',OBJ_USER,'LOGIN_CONTROL',1,.T.)
        IF !EMPTY(cBuf)
         dLast=       STOD('19'+NTOC(ASC(SUBSTR(cBuf,57,1)),,2,'0');
            +NTOC(ASC(SUBSTR(cBuf,58,1)),,2,'0');
            +NTOC(ASC(SUBSTR(cBuf,59,1)),,2,'0'))
         ? dLast
        ENDIF
