This function creates an empty persistent binary large object (BLOB) collection using the default data definition (DD) and assigns a persistent identifier (PID) to the collection.
Format
#include <c$to2.h> long TO2_createBLOB (TO2_PID_PTR pid_ptr, TO2_ENV_PTR env_ptr);
Normal Return
The normal return is a positive value.
Error Return
An error return is indicated by a zero. When zero is returned, use the TO2_getErrorCode function to determine the specific error code. For more information, see Error Handling.
The following error codes are common for this function:
TO2_ERROR_DATA_LGH
TO2_ERROR_ENV
Programming Considerations
A commit scope will be created for the TO2_createBLOB request. If the request is successful, the scope will be committed. If an error occurs while processing the TO2_createBLOB request, the scope will be rolled back.
Examples
The following example creates a persistent BLOB collection.
#include <c$to2.h> /* Needed for TO2 API functions */ #include <stdio.h> /* APIs for standard I/O functions */ TO2_ENV_PTR env_ptr; /* PTR to the TO2 environment */ TO2_PID collect; /* will hold collection's PID */
