BEA Tuxedo FML Function Reference

Name

CFchg(), CFchg32() - convert and change field

Synopsis

#include <stdio.h> 
#include "fml.h" 
int CFchg(FBFR *fbfr, FLDID fieldid, FLDOCC oc, char *value, 
       FLDLEN len, int type) 
#include "fml32.h" 
int CFchg32(FBFR32 *fbfr, FLDID32 fieldid, FLDOCC32 oc, 
       char *value,
FLDLEN32 len, int type)

Description

CFchg() acts like Fchg() but first converts the value from the user-specified type to the type of the fieldid for which the field is changed in the fielded buffer. fbfr is a pointer to a fielded buffer. fieldid is a field identifier. oc is the occurrence number of the field. value is a pointer to a new value. len is the length of the value to be changed; it is required only if type is FLD_CARRAY. type is the data type of value.

If a field occurrence is specified that does not exist, then NULL values are added for the missing occurrences until the desired value can be added (for example, changing field occurrence 4 for a field that does not exist in a buffer will cause 3 NULL values to be added followed by the specified field value).

This function fails if any of the following field types is used: FLD_PTR, FLD_FML32, or FLD_VIEW32. If one of these field types is encountered when CFchg() or CFchg32() is being used, Ferror is set to FEBADOP.

CFchg32() is used with 32-bit FML.

A thread in a multithreaded application may issue a call to CFchg() or CFchg32() while running in any context state, including TPINVALIDCONTEXT.

Return Values

This function returns -1 on error and sets Ferror to indicate the error condition.

Errors

Under the following conditions, CFchg() fails and sets Ferror to:

[FALIGNERR]: "fielded buffer not aligned"
The buffer does not begin on the proper boundary.
[FNOTFLD]: "buffer not fielded"
The buffer is not a fielded buffer or has not been initialized by Finit().

[FMALLOC]

"malloc failed"
Allocation of space dynamically using malloc() failed when converting from a carray to string.

[FEINVAL]: "invalid argument to function"
One of the arguments to the function invoked was invalid (for example, a NULL value parameter was specified).
[FNOSPACE]: "no space in fielded buffer"
A field value is to be added or changed in a field buffer but there is not enough space remaining in the buffer.
[FNOTPRES]: "field not present"
A field occurrence is requested but the specified field and/or occurrence was not found in the fielded buffer.
[FBADFLD]: "unknown field number or type"
A field identifier is specified which is not valid.
[FTYPERR]: "invalid field type"
A field identifier is specified which is not valid.
[FEBADOP]: "invalid field type"
An invalid field type (such as FLD_PTR, FLD_FML32, and FLD_VIEW32) is specified.
