NAME
       PX_get_data_short -- Get value from short data field

SYNOPSIS
       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_get_data_short(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, char *data, int len, short int *value)

DESCRIPTION
       Converts  a  data  field  as  it  stored  in the database file into a short integer for the host architecture. You should use this function
       instead of accessing the data directly.

       data points to the start of the data field in the record. It must be calculated by summing up all field length before the field to  operate
       on and add it to the base pointer of the record.

	      Note:

	      This function is deprecated and obsolete if PX_retrieve_record(3) is used.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns 0 if the value is NULL, -1 in case of an error and 1 otherwise.
