_DBAppend( ) API Library Routine Example

The following example uses _DBAppend( ) to append a record to the table open in the current work area.

Visual FoxPro Code

SET LIBRARY TO DBAPPEND
DO CreateTest

SET CARRY ON
= DBAPPEND(-1)   && SET CARRY is ON, so carry
SET CARRY OFF
= DBAPPEND(1)   && carry regardless of SET CARRY
= DBAPPEND(-1)   && SET CARRY is OFF, so no carry

PROCEDURE CreateTest
   CREATE TABLE test (ABC C(20))
   APPEND BLANK
   REPLACE ABC WITH "Golly month of"
   APPEND BLANK
   REPLACE ABC WITH "A twelfth of"
   APPEND BLANK
   REPLACE ABC WITH "Hello, world"
   APPEND BLANK
   REPLACE ABC WITH "When in the"
   GO TOP
RETURN

C Code

#include <pro_ext.h>

FAR Example(ParamBlk FAR *parm)
{
   int RetCode;
   if ((RetCode = _DBAppend(-1, (int) parm->p[0].val.ev_long)) < 0) {
      _Error(-RetCode);
   }
}

FoxInfo myFoxInfo[] = {
   {"DBAPPEND", (FPFI) Example, 1, "I"},
};
FoxTable _FoxTable = {
   (FoxTable FAR *) 0, sizeof(myFoxInfo)/sizeof(FoxInfo), myFoxInfo
};
