DbCopyStruct

[hua]

Hi guys,
when I tried to compile with BCC7.7 and Harbour I get unresolved external for dbCopyStruct().
The function is in which lib? For now I use __dbCopyStruct() instead
TIA

Both dbCopyStruct() and __dbCopyStruct() (with the same functionality) are supported only by xHarbour.
Harbour provides __dbCopyStruct() only.

My humbles submission:
It is always a good practice to use COMMAND syntax where available
We will not get into these problems
eg:

Code: Select all  Expand view

COPY STRUCTURE TO cnewdbf

Thanks for the explanation Rao.
I am using dbCopyStruct() because I was sub-classing TDatabase() to add that function.

Code: Select all  Expand view

method dbCopyStruct(cDataBase, aFieldList) inline ( ::cAlias )->(__dbCopyStruct(cDataBase, aFieldList))

Code: Select all  Expand view

// C:\FHW\SAMPLES\DBSTRUCT.PRG

#include "FiveWin.ch"

// Require: RDD.LIB

FUNCTION Main()

   /*
   // Create a new file that contain part of the original structure
   LOCAL aList

   USE TEST

   aList := { "STATE" }

   // dbCopyStruct( "ONLYNAME.dbf",  aList ) // xHarbour only

   __dbCopyStruct( "ONLYNAME.dbf",  aList )  // Harbour / xHarbour
   */

   // .and.

   // Open a database,  then copy its structure to a new file,
   // Open the new file and list all its records
   USE Test

   // dbCopyXStruct( "TestStru" )  // xHarbour Only

   __dbCopyXStruct( "TestStru" )   // xHarbour .AND. Harbour

   USE TestStru

   BROWSE()

RETURN NIL

// FIN / END
 

Regards, saludos.
