PX_PUT_DATA_ALPHA(3)					     Library Functions Manual					      PX_PUT_DATA_ALPHA(3)

NAME
       PX_put_data_alpha -- Put value into an alpha data field

SYNOPSIS
       #include <paradox.h>

       void PX_put_data_alpha(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, char *data, int len, char *value)

DESCRIPTION
       Converts  a  string  into  a  value for a data field as it stored in the database file. You must set the target encoding before in order to
       recode the string. If you do not set the encoding the data will be stored as is. You should use this  function  instead	of  accessing  the
       record 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.
