NAME
       DtMmdbSectionGetDataSize -- obtains the size of a section's data

SYNOPSIS
       #include <DtMmdb.h>
       int DtMmdbSectionGetDataSize(
       DtMmdbInfoRequest* request);

DESCRIPTION
       The DtMmdbSectionGetDataSize function returns the number of bytes in the specified section's data.  Table lookup is involved if the section
       identifier is specified by the locator_ptr field.

ARGUMENTS
       request	 Specifies the bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field and either the section's Database Engine identifier (in  the  primary_oid
		 field)  or  the  section's logical identifier (in the locator_ptr field). If both of these fields have a value, DtMmdbSectionGet-
		 DataSize uses the locator_ptr value.

RETURN VALUE
       If DtMmdbSectionGetDataSize completes successfully, it returns the size of the section's data.  If it fails, it returns -1.

EXAMPLE
       The following shows how a DtMmdbSectionGetDataSize call might be coded.

       DtMmdbInfoRequest request;
       /* fill the request here */
       l = DtMmdbSectionGetDataSize(&request);
