D_RECFRST (1)

find the first record in a table

SYNOPSIS

    #include <typhoon.h>

    d_recfrst(ulong recid)

DESCRIPTION

    d_recfrst finds the first record in the table specified by recid. If d_recfrst returns S_NOTFOUND the table is empty.

DIAGNOSTICS

    The status code returned by the function is also stored in the global variable db_status.

    S_OKAY

      A record was found.

    S_NOTFOUND

      The key value was not found, i.e. the index is empty.

    S_NOCD

      There is no current database.

    S_INVREC

      The id is not a record id.

CURRENCY CHANGES

    If S_OKAY is returned, the record found becomes the current record.

EXAMPLE

    /* Traverse the customers in randomorder */

    #include <typhoon.h>

    d_recfrst(CUSTOMER);

    while( db_status == S_OKAY ) { struct customer cust;

    d_recread(&cust); printf("%s\\n", cust.name); d_recnext(CUSTOMER); }
