NAME

       PX_put_data_bcd — Put value into a bcd data field

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Converts  a  bcd  string  into a value for a data field as it stored in the database file. The string may
       only contain the charcters `+', `-', `0-9', and `.'. 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.
