NAME

       PX_put_data_alpha — Put value into an alpha data field

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       void  PX_put_data_alpha(pxdoc_t  *pxdoc,  char  *data,  int  len,  char
       *value)

DESCRIPTION

       Converts a string into a value for a data field as  it  stored  in  the
       database  file.  You  must  set  the target encoding before in order to
       recode the string. If you do not set the  encoding  the  data  will  be
       stored  as  is.  You  should use this function instead of accessing the
       record data directly.

       data points to the start of the data field in the record.  It  must  be
       calculated  by  summing up all field length before the field to operate
       on and add it to the base pointer of the record.
