Re: Rows truncated at 176 chars when using CT-Lib interface

Frediano,
Thanks for replying.

I've just solved the issue. The problem was with the CS_DATAFMT structure
member not being a pointer. I've replaced by:

struct data_s {

CS_CHAR *data;

CS_DATAFMT *format;

CS_INT size;

CS_SMALLINT ind;

};

struct data_s *data;

And fixed the references on the code:

data[i].format = malloc(sizeof(CS_DATAFMT));

memset(data[i].format, 0, sizeof(CS_DATAFMT));

if (ct_describe(conn->command, i+1, data[i].format) != CS_SUCCEED) {

error(0, "Error fetching column description");

free(data);

return -1;

}

data[i].format->maxlength++;

data[i].data = malloc(data[i].format->maxlength);

data[i].format->datatype = CS_CHAR_TYPE;

data[i].format->format = CS_FMT_NULLTERM;

ct_bind(conn->command, i+1, data[i].format, data[i].data,

&data[i].size, &data[i].ind);

And that was it :)

Regarding the select, it's a simple command:

ct_command(conn->command, CS_LANG_CMD,

"SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table",

CS_NULLTERM, CS_UNUSED);


Regards,

Alejandro
