NAME

       PX_put_data_alpha — Put value into an alpha data field

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       void PX_put_data_alpha(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, char *data, int len, char *value)

DESCRIPTION

       Converts  a  string  into  a value for a data field as it stored in the database file. You
       must set the target encoding before in order to recode the string. If you do not  set  the
       encoding  the data will be stored as is. You should use this function instead of accessing
       the record data directly.

       data points to the start of the data field in the record. It must be calculated by summing
       up  all  field length before the field to operate on and add it to the base pointer of the
       record.
