The TPF Database Facility (TPFDF) provides an interface between application programs requesting access to information in a database and the system software that physically accesses the stored data. The main interfaces between application programs and the TPFDF product are provided through a set of C functions and a set of assembler macros. See C Language Functions for details about the TPFDF C functions and Assembler Macros for details about the TPFDF macros. In addition, see Sample Applications for sample application programs using the TPFDF C functions and TPFDF macros.
See TPFDF General Information for an overall understanding of the TPFDF product.
In addition, work with your database administrator to ensure you know how the files in your database are defined. See TPFDF Database Administration for more information about how files are defined for a TPFDF database.
This chapter provides an overview of some of the general considerations for writing application programs for the TPFDF product.
