NAME

       PX_set_blob_file -- Associate blob file with database

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_set_blob_file(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, const char *filename)

DESCRIPTION

       Opens  or  creates  the	given blob file and associates it with the Paradox database. This function must be called before accessing records
       whose blob data is stored in a .MB file. It must also be called after opening or creating the paradox database. If the blob  data  is  con-
       tained in the record itself or can be stored in the record, this function may not be called.

       This  function  must  be called after opening or creating the database file, because it uses the same file open mode. If you call it before
       PX_open_file(3) or PX_create_file(3)	       it will quit with an error.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a value < 0 in case of an error, otherwise 0.
