The prordbd( ) function reads the value of a DATE field in a shared buffer.

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

Syntax

int 
prordbd ( pbufnam, fhandle, index, pyear, pmonth, pday,
          punknown )
  char *pbufnam;
  int   fhandle;
  int   index;
  int  *pyear;
  int  *pmonth;
  int  *pday;
  int  *punknown;
pbufnam
This input parameter points to the name of the specified shared buffer.
fhandle
