PX_TIME2STRING(3)					     Library Functions Manual						 PX_TIME2STRING(3)

NAME

       PX_time2string -- Convert paradox time into formated string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       char * PX_time2string(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, long time, const char *format)

DESCRIPTION

       Creates	a  string  representation  of  a  paradox  time  as  specified	in  the  parameter format.  The time must be either retrieved with
       PX_get_data_long(3)  after  calling  PX_get_record(3)  or  by  simply  using  the  long	value  in  the	pxval_t  struct  as  returned	by
       PX_retrieve_record(3).  The function uses internally the PX_timestamp2string(3) function.  The format string may contain all chars as docu-
       mented with PX_timestamp2string(3), though only those concerning the time will produce resonable results.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns pointer to string on success and NULL on failure.

PX_GET_DATA_BCD(3)					     Library Functions Manual						PX_GET_DATA_BCD(3)

NAME

       PX_get_data_bcd -- Get bcd data field

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_get_data_bcd(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, char *data, int len, char **value)

DESCRIPTION

       Converts  a data field as it stored in the database file into a bcd string. The string will not be longer than 20 chars including the final
       0. It contains only the characters `+', `-', `0-9', and `.'.  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. len is the number of digits after the decimal point.

       The function allocates memory for the string returned in *value. This memory has to be freed by the application.

	      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.
