NAME
valtoa - convert value to ASCII string
SYNOPSIS
#include <cbase/dtypes.h>
char *valtoa (buf, type, size)
char *buf;
int type;
int size;
DESCRIPTION
This function converts a binary value pointed to by buf to a character string. The type parameter names the data type of the data and is one of the data types named in the include file <cbase/dtypes.h>. The size parameter gives the size in bytes of the binary field that contains the value. The sizeof() function should be used to determine this value.
EXAMPLES
DATE datefld;
short count;
MONEY amount;
long links;
char *p;
p = valtoa (&datefld, DATE_TYPE, sizeof(datefld));
p = valtoa (&count, INT_TYPE, sizeof(count));
p = valtoa (&links, INT_TYPE, sizeof(links));
p = valtoa (&amount, MONEY_TYPE, sizeof(amount));
WARNINGS
The character string returned is contained in static data that is overwritten with every call.
