Re: Struct and memset

memset(&myStruct,' ',sizeof(myStruct));

or if you have a pointer to the struct:

memset(myPtrToStruct,' ',sizeof(*myPtrToStruct));

BTW, is this a database file and are you defining a record layout
programmatically?
If so, consider using either #pragma mapinc or the GENCSRC command to have
the compiler create a record layout structure for you, based on the
external
file definition.
That way you solicit compiler's help which helps avoid 'fat fingering' the
offsets.

Subject: [C400-L] Struct and memset

I'm writing data to a flat file, using a struct corresponding to the
"pseudo
record" (or what you would call it, "fields" start in certain positions).
The space between the "fields" in the flatfile needs to be blank, and I'm
wondering if there is a nice method to initially set the whole struct to
blanks instead of defining the space between the "fields" as separate
fields
of their own and then using memset to set them to blank, one by one?

Thank you.
