Re: %fieldvalue BIF (follow-up to "User space, outfile or workfile")

Carsten,

I'd really like to see that, especially how to retrieve the record buffer
at runtime.

By the way, I want to make an XLS (Excel file), not XML.

Thanks in advance,

Peter

                                                         You could use the
                                                         QUSLFLD API and a
                                                         couple of Edit
                                                         APIs to retrieve
                                                         most field data
                                                         types from a
                                                         record buffer. The
                                                         C record I/O
                                                         functions would
                                                         also give you an
                                                         easy and flexible
                                                         access to retrieve
                                                         the record buffer
                                                         of any file
                                                         specified at
                                                         runtime.

                                                         I've written a
                                                         sample procedure
                                                         that outlines the
                                                         process and also
                                                         examplifies the
                                                         record retrieval
                                                         by key. You could
                                                         possible use that
                                                         as a starting
                                                         point for your XML
                                                         tool - let me know
                                                         if you want a
                                                         copy.

                                                         Best regards,
                                                         Carsten Flensburg
