DynamicDescriptionArea |
The name of the DynamicDescriptionArea, usually |
|
index |
An integer identifying the output parameter descriptor |
Return value
DateTime.
Returns the DateTime data in the output parameter descriptor
identified by index in DynamicDescriptionArea. Returns 1900-01-01
00:00:00.000000 if an error occurs. If any argument’s value is null,
GetDynamicDateTime returns null.
Usage
Use GetDynamicDateTime when the value of OutParmType is
TypeDateTime! for the value that you want to retrieve from the
array.
To test for the error value, you must use the DateTime function to
construct the value to which you want to compare the returned value.
PowerBuilder does not support DateTime literals.
Examples
These statements set SystemDateTime to the DateTime data in the
second output parameter descriptor:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
DateTime SystemDateTime SystemDateTime = SQLDA.GetDynamicDateTime(2) IF SystemDateTime = & DateTime(1900-01-01, 00:00:00) THEN ... // Error handling END IF |
For an example of retrieving data from the DynamicDescriptionArea,
