Re: C program for QDFRTVFD API

[Jevgeni Astanovski <jevgeniast@xxxxxxxxx>]

I meant different thing.
I would retrieve QDFTRTVD API data into an allocated memory chunk.
Then I would create user space to keep retrieved structures in a
format of FieldData_t format.
I would place two integers in the beginning of the user space that are
length of the data in the user space and offset to the first unsent
field in the user space.
Then I would return first retrieved field from the user space and
increment a pointer to the next one.
When called wit "NEXT" I would just return a field pointed by my
"next" pointer in the user space and increment it.
In this case you also do not need to pass previous field when requesting next.

By the way, after analyzing and debugging your program I've got mine
working as well. I've caught the logic of "Where Used" fields and now
it works fine in my program.
