ctsqlGetDate

Retrieve the date field.

Declaration

CTSQLRET ctsqlGetDate(pCTSQLCURSOR hCursor, INTEGER colnumber, SQLDATE* buffer)

Description

ctsqlGetDate() retrieves the value of a date field, given its cursor and column.

  • hCursor the cursor handle.
  • colnumber the column number.
  • buffer the buffer that will store the field data.

Return

ctsqlGetDate() returns CTSQLRET_OK on success.

Prior to V12, a call to this function, or similar ctsqlGet*() functions for other data types, would fail with SQL_ERR_BADARG if the column value was a SQL NULL. These functions now return CTSQL_NULLRESULT if the data value is a SQL NULL. This change does not apply to ctsqlGetBinary or ctsqlGetBlob. Note: This modification is a Compatibility Change.
