This function converts an EBCDIC string persistent identifier (PID) to a binary PID.
Format
#include <c$to2.h> long TO2_convertEBCDICtoBinPID(const char EBCDIC_pid_ptr[64], TO2_ENV_PTR env_ptr, TO2_PID_PTR binary_pid_output, long *pid_output_length);
Normal Return
The normal return is a positive value.
Error Return
An error return is indicated by a zero return code. When zero is returned, use the TO2_getErrorCode function to determine the specific error code. For more information, see Error Handling.
The following error codes are common for this function:
TO2_ERROR_DATA_LGH
TO2_ERROR_ENV
TO2_ERROR_PID
TO2_ERROR_ZERO_PID
Programming Considerations
This function does not use TPF transaction services on behalf of the caller.
Examples
The following example converts an EBCDIC string PID to a binary PID.
#include <c$to2.h> /* Needed for TO2 API functions */ #include <stdio.h> /* APIs for standard I/O functions*/ TO2_ENV_PTR env_ptr; /* Pointer to the TO2 environment */ TO2_PID outputPID; char input_PID[64]; long pid_length;
