NAME

       PX_put_data_bcd — Put value into a bcd data field

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Converts a bcd string into a value for a data field as it stored in the
       database file. The string may only  contain  the  charcters  ‘+’,  ‘-’,
       ‘0-9’,  and  ‘.’. 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.
