FairCom ISAM for C

LastInVSet

Read the last variable-length data record in the set defined by target.

Short Name

LSTVSET()

Type

ISAM function

Declaration

COUNT LastInVSet(COUNT filno, pVOID target, pVOID recptr,

COUNT signlen, pVRLEN plen)

Description

LastInVSet() is identical to it’s fixed-length counterpart, LastInSet(), except that it reads the last variable-length data record in the set defined by target and siglen. If successful, this record becomes the current ISAM record for the associated data file.

plen acts as both an input and output parameter:

On input, plen contains the length of the output buffer.
On output, the contents of plen is the actual data-record length. If the length of the output buffer is less than the actual record length, a partial read is performed. If an error occurs, plen is unspecified.

Read the function description for LastInSet() for additional important information.

Return

Value	Symbolic Constant	Explanation
0	NO_ERROR	Successful retrieval of current ISAM record.
633	NPLN_ERR	plen is NULL.
634	NLEN_ERR	plen is negative on input.
