The prowtbc( ) function writes a string value to a CHARACTER field in a shared buffer.

On successful completion, prowtbc( ) returns 0; otherwise, it returns a non-zero value:

Syntax

int 
prowtbc ( pbufnam, fhandle, index, pvar, unknown )
  char *pbufnam; 
  int   fhandle;
  int   index;
  char *pvar;
  int   unknown;
pbufnam
This input parameter points to the name of the specified shared buffer. You supply the name from your OpenEdge application.
fhandle
This input parameter is the field handle that profldix( ) returns for the specified field.
index
This input parameter specifies an index value for an array field. If the field is not an array, you must set the value of index to 0.
pvar
This input parameter points to a buffer containing the character string value for the specified CHARACTER field. The character string must be null-terminated.
unknown
If this input parameter contains the value 1, the Unknown value (?) is assigned to the variable. If this input parameter contains the value 0, the input value contained in pvar is assigned to the variable.
