Update DateTime

Convenience Function

Declaration

tibrv_status tibrvMsg_UpdateDateTime(
   tibrvMsg              message,
   const char*           fieldName,
   const tibrvMsgDateTime*  value);
tibrv_status tibrvMsg_UpdateDateTimeEx(
   tibrvMsg                message,
   const char*             fieldName,
   const tibrvMsgDateTime*  value,
   tibrv_u16                fieldId);

Purpose

Update a field containing a datetime value.

Remarks

This convenience function locates a field (by name or identifier) and updates its data.

The type of the existing field (within the message) and the type of the updating value must match.

Pointer data previously extracted from the field remain valid and unchanged until the message is destroyed; that is, even updating the field’s value does not invalidate pointer data. (See Pointer Snapshot.)

Parameter

Description

message

Update the specified field of this message.

fieldName

Update a field with this name.

value

Update the message field to this value.

The function copies the new value into the existing field.

fieldId

Update the field with this identifier. Zero is a special value that signifies no field identifier. It is illegal to add a field that has both a NULL field name, and a non-zero field identifier.
