AddVRecord

Add a new variable-length data record, and its corresponding key values, to ISAM files.

Short Name

ADDVREC()

Type

ISAM function variable length record

Declaration

COUNT AddVRecord(COUNT datno, pVOID recptr, VRLEN varlen)

Description

AddVRecord() adds the data record with length in bytes given by varlen and pointed to by recptr to data file number datno. It automatically adds the key values defined for the data file to their respective index files. If successful, the new data record becomes the current ISAM record for datno. In multi-user applications, AddVRecord() automatically causes a data record lock to be placed on the new record. Therefore, LockISAM(ctENABLE) and LockISAM(ctFREE) should be called before and after AddVRecord(). However, if you are using transaction processing, (single-user and client/server models only), you will usually enable and free locks during the Begin() and Commit() functions.

As of c-tree Plus V8.14, c-tree sets the current ISAM position after a record is added such that the next or previous record can be read without having to re-read the record just added. Prior to V8.14, the current ISAM position was not set to a newly-added record and an INOT_ERR (101) error would result if you tried to read either the next of previous record.

Return

Value	Symbolic Constant	Explanation
0	NO_ERROR	Successful addition of a new data record.
2	KDUP_ERR	Duplicate key value found in index file number isam_fil. Data record not added and no key values inserted.
33	DNUL_ERR	recptr is null. No action taken.
37	WRITE_ERR	Most likely disk or directory is full. Files are left in an indeterminate state and should be rebuilt.
48	FMOD_ERR	datno is assigned to a fixed record length file.
147	VDLFLG_ERR	Attempt to re-use a data record that is still active. Apparently, the data file is corrupted in which case you should rebuild the ISAM files.
149	VRLN_ERR	varlen is less than the minimum record length for this variable-length file.
199	NSCH_ERR	key segment refers to schema, but schema not defined.
433	SSCH_ERR	Segment definition inconsistent with schema.
445	SDAT_ERR	Not enough data to assembly key.
446	BMOD_ERR	Invalid key mode.

Example

COUNT invfil;

struct invd {

  LONG part_no;

  LONG on_hand;

  TEXT part_name[120];

} recbuf;


scanf("%ld %ld %119s",&recbuf.part_no,&recbuf.on_hand,

      recbuf.part_name);


if (LockISAM(ctENABLE) || AddVRecord(invfil,&recbuf,8 +

   strlen(recbuf.part_name)) || LockISAM(ctFREE))

     printf("\nAddVRecord error %d in file %d",isam_err, isam_fil);
