PURPOSE

Pass a datetime string to Recital


SYNONYM

api_ret_ts()


SYNOPSIS

#include "dbapi.h"
 
int	_retts(string)
 
<input parameters>
char	*string;		/* Address of a buffer containing a character string	*/
 
<output parameters>
none


DESCRIPTION

The _retts() function returns a character string in the format "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" to Recital as a Recital datetime type. The DATE_TTOS() function can be used to convert a datetime stored in a DATETIME structure to a string format.


EXAMPLE

The following example evaluates the first parameter passed to a string and then returns the result.

Example Recital program:

m_datetime=datetime()
m_datetime=datetime_con(m_datetime)
return

Example 'C' function:

#include "dbapi.h"
 
dbapi_datetime_con()
{
    char	datetime[15];
 
    if ( _parinfo(1) == API_TTYPE ) {
       strcpy( datetime, _parts(1));
    } else {
       strcpy( datetime, "");
    }
 
    _retts (datetime );
}
