sepdbubl

The application calls the sepdbubl function to get a buffer with a requested number of elements.

Win32

PTRBFHDR sepdbubl(

USHORT noelts
);

MS-DOS, Windows Version 3.x, and OS/2

PTRBFHDR FAR sepdbubl(

USHORT noelts
);

Parameters

noelts: Number of elements required.

Return Values

A pointer to the buffer obtained; NULL if a buffer could not be obtained.

Remarks

Each element has a size of 268—the constant SNANBEDA in the header file FMI.H.

The returned buffer consists of a header and the required number of elements. The header points to the first element, which points to the next element, and so on to make an element chain.

It is possible to add an element to an existing buffer by calling sbpibegt to get the extra element. The new element should be added to the element chain of the buffer, and the "number of elements" count should be updated.

The application must release any buffers that are not transmitted.
