CPRL_GETLAST_
CPRL_GETLAST_
The CPRL_GETLAST_ procedure finds the last string of a specified length according
to an SQL collation or collation object.
This procedure replaces the practice of using a string of binary ones to generate the
last string of a specified length, which does not work correctly for nonbinary collating
sequences.
The CPRL_GETLAST_ procedure returns these values:
laststring
is an array in which CPRL_GETFIRST_ returns the last string.
laststringmaxlength
specifies the maximum length of laststring.
laststringlength
specifies the number of bytes of laststring that were scanned. (If
CPRL_GETLAST_ is successful, laststringlength and
laststringmaxlength are equal.)
cprladdr
is a pointer to the SQL collation or collation object.
#include <cextdecs(CPRL_GETLAST_)>
short CPRL_GETLAST_ (
char *laststring /* o */
,short laststringmaxlength /* i */
,short *laststringlength /* o */
,long cprladdr ); /* i */
