RE: [C400-L] using _Rreadk with a partial key - any examples?

["Jevgeni Astanovski" <J.Astanovski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's my 10 eurocents:

memcpy(CPNC, "123456", 6) ;
found = 0 ;
rfp = _Rreadk(fp, &Account, sizeof(scpf), __KEY_EQ, CPNC, 6) ;
while (rfp->num_bytes == sizeof(scpf) && found == 0)
{
  if (!memcmp(Account.SCCCY, "EUR", 3))
    found = 1;
  if (!found)
    rfp = _Rreadk(fp, &Account, sizeof(scpf), __KEY_NEXTEQ, CPNC, 6) ;
}
