PX_PUT_DATA_BCD(3) Library Functions Manual PX_PUT_DATA_BCD(3)NAME
PX_put_data_bcd -- Put value into a bcd data field
SYNOPSIS
#include <paradox.h>
void PX_put_data_bcd(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, char *data, int len, char *value)
DESCRIPTION
Converts a bcd string into a value for a data field as it stored in the database file. The string may only contain the charcters `+', `-',
`0-9', and `.'. 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.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)

return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
But what a book. The one I found and ordered is BSD Unix®... (0 Replies)
