REXXBTRV v1.0
REXX Interface for OS/2 Btrieve
Copyright (c) 1995 Shane Petty
All Rights Reserved
What is it ?
============
REXXBTRV allows an OS/2 REXX developer to access data in Btrieve files from
REXX scripts in a manner equivalent to that normally done though a lower
level language such as C. The API used by the REXX developer is the same
familiar Btrieve API used on all platforms and languages. If you are
experienced with writing Btrieve applications in another language, you will
find the REXX interface easy and familiar.
REXXBTRV is FreeWare.
Making calls to Btrieve
=======================
The API exported by REXXBTRV is the BTRV() API with all the same parameters.
BTRV( operation,
positionBlock,
dataBuffer,
datalength,
keyBuffer,
keyNumber )
Included in this package is a small sample REXX script which simply opens
and reads though a Btrieve file. Use this as an example of how to access
data in a Btrieve file.
Another API exported by REXXBTRV is BQUIT(). This is used to terminate
your session with the Btrieve engine, and should be called before terminating
your REXX script. BQUIT() requires no parameters.
Requirements
============
REXXBTRV is a 32-bit DLL, and as such requires OS/2 v2.0 or greater.
REXXBTRV requires the OS/2 Btrieve SDK v6.15 or above.
If you do not have an OS/2 Btrieve Developer Kit, order it.
