I did a test to see what happens when I create a null map for fields in a
file. Here is a sample of the file field descriptions
Data Field Buffer Buffer Field Column
Field Type Length Length Position Usage Heading
EMPNUM CHAR 8 8 1 Both EMPNUM
Coded Character Set Identifier . . . . . : 37
SNAME CHAR 10 10 9 Both SNAME
Allows the null value
Coded Character Set Identifier . . . . . : 37
FORENAME CHAR 15 15 19 Both FORENAME
Coded Character Set Identifier . . . . . : 37
INIT1 CHAR 1 1 34 Both INIT1
Coded Character Set Identifier . . . . . : 37
INIT2 CHAR 1 1 35 Both INIT2
Coded Character Set Identifier . . . . . : 37
NINUM CHAR 9 9 36 Both NINUM
Allows the null value
Coded Character Set Identifier . . . . . : 37
TAXCODE CHAR 4 4 45 Both TAXCODE
Coded Character Set Identifier . . . . . : 37
NITABLE CHAR 1 1 49 Both NITABLE
This is the structure, it makes some sense.
/* ------------------------------------------------------- *
// PHYSICAL FILE : TSTMDTA/EMPDETS
// FILE LAST CHANGE DATE : 2012/09/13
// RECORD FORMAT : EMPREC
// FORMAT LEVEL IDENTIFIER : 37F02E40D0B87
* ------------------------------------------------------- */
typedef struct {
unsigned char EMPNUM;
unsigned char SNAME;
unsigned char FORENAME;
unsigned char INIT1;
unsigned char INIT2;
unsigned char NINUM;
unsigned char TAXCODE;
unsigned char NITABLE;
unsigned char RATEP;
unsigned char RATED;
} TSTMDTA_EMPDETS_EMPREC_nmap_t;
So my assumption is that if I assign that structure to the in_null_map and
set the relevant fields to NULL it should work. Likewise if I have an
unsigned char *, I should be able to set it to the address of the
in_null_map and increment it over the in_null_map and set the relevant
offset accordingly?

Chris, for update, you need the _SET_UPDATE_NULL_MAP_FIELD macro. The one
you mentioned works with the output null map.
I think those macros are meant to be used with a typedef created by pragma
mapinc with the nullflds option. The _type would be the typedef name, and
the _field would the field name. It looks like the macros only support
clearing the whole null map with _CLEAR_UPDATE_NULL_MAP, and then setting
individual fields to '1' with _SET_UPDATE_NULL_MAP_FIELD.
Here's a test program I found in my library that updates file BMORRIS/JUNKF.
It looks like the field names in my junk file were all 10A, and the first
and third were defined ALWNULL. The program is blindly updating all the
fields, and setting the third field NULL3 to be null.
main()
{
#pragma mapinc("nulls", "BMORRIS/JUNKF(REC)","nullflds")
#pragma mapinc("data", "BMORRIS/JUNKF(REC)","both")
#include "nulls"
#include "data"
BMORRIS_JUNKF_REC_both_t data;
_RFILE *rf;
rf = _Ropen("BMORRIS/JUNKF", "rr+ nullcap=Y");
_Rreadn (rf, &data, sizeof(data), __DFT);
_CLEAR_UPDATE_NULL_MAP(rf, BMORRIS_JUNKF_REC_nmap_t);
memcpy(&data, "null1 notnull2 null3 notnull4 ", 40);
_SET_UPDATE_NULL_MAP_FIELD(rf, BMORRIS_JUNKF_REC_nmap_t, NULL3);
_Rupdate (rf, &data, sizeof(data));
_Rclose (rf);
}
