DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId(library call)									    DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId(library call)

NAME

       DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId -- obtains the locator of a book's TOC section

SYNOPSIS

       #include <DtMmdb.h>
       DtMmdbHandle* DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId(
       DtMmdbInfoRequest* request);

DESCRIPTION

       The  DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId  function	returns  the  object identifier of the specified book's TOC section.  Use the DtMmdbFreeHandleList
       function to release the memory when the object identifier is no longer needed. Table lookup is involved when the identifier is specified by
       either the primary_oid or sequence_num field.

ARGUMENTS

       request	 Specifies  the  bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field, as well as a valid value in the primary_oid, the secondary_oid, or the
		 sequence_num field.  The primary_oid represents the DtInfo Database object identifier of the TOC section; the secondary_oid  rep-
		 resents  the  object  identifier  of  the book itself; and the sequence_num represents the sequence number of the book within the
		 bookcase (0 based).  If more than one of these fields have a valid value, the order of precedence is: primary_oid, secondary_oid,
		 and, last, sequence_num.

RETURN VALUE

       If  DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId completes successfully, it returns a pointer to the object identifier for the book's TOC section. If it fails,
       it returns a NULL pointer.

EXAMPLE

       The following shows how a DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId call might be coded.

       DtMmdbInfoRequest request;
       request.bookcase_descriptor = DtMmdbGetBookCase(myInfoLibPtr, "myBase");
       request.sequence_num = 1;
       DtMmdbBookGetTocObjectId(&request);
