TO2_createBLOB-Create a Persistent BLOB Collection

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);

pid_ptr
The pointer to the location where the PID assigned to the new collection will be returned.

env_ptr
The pointer to the environment as returned by the TO2_createEnv function.

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      */
