Thread: Pointer to BYTE

Are you asking if you can use a separate structure which will work with the function? You can use void * or, for example:

myfunction(SOMEFUNC *Blah);

SOMEOTHERFUNC Bleh;

myfunction((SOMEFUNC *)&Bleh);

If you use other structures you have to make sure that they are still compatible while you convert them. As to the use of any-other structure I guess you could pass an arguement which denotes which structure/data types you are using. Does this answer your question?

The rows from the database call are in the LIBFACTIVEUSERROW (stActiveUserRow) structure that is described as :

typedef struct
{
CHAR achUserName;
CHAR achWorkstationID;
SMALLINTSTR achLogonCount;
} LIBFACTIVEUSERROW;

In my PRINTfF statement, I do get some information back but it appears to be gibberish. I am not sure if I am getting back the address or data.

for ( i = 0; i < usNumRows; i++ )

printf("User Name = %s\n\n", stActiveUserRow.achUserName);
//printf("User Name = %s\n\n", &RType.achUserName);
printf("User Name = %u\n\n", stActiveUserRow.achUserName);
printf("WorkStation Name = %s \n\n", stActiveUserRow.achWorkstationID);
printf("WorkStation Name = %u \n\n", stActiveUserRow.achWorkstationID);
printf("Logon Count = %s\n\n", stActiveUserRow.achLogonCount);
printf("Logon Count = %u\n\n", stActiveUserRow.achLogonCount);

My results are as follows:
User Name = @U╡

User Name = @U╡

User Name = @U╡

User Name = @U╡

User Name = @U╡

User Name = 1244940

WorkStation Name = ╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠♣

WorkStation Name = 1244967

Logon Count = ╠╠╠╠╠╠╠♣

Logon Count = 1244985

So do I need a function to convert the data to a readable form or is there any other way.
I hope I have not confused you.
