Обсуждение: Version 8.2.4 ecpg - function not found

We are upgrading from Version 7.4.8 to 8.2.4.

In 7.4, there were functions called

ECPGis_informix_null

ECPGset_informix_null

In 8.2.4, I do not see these functions.  Instead, I see functions

ECPGis_noind_null

ECPGset_noind_null

Are they functionally the same?

Also, the 8.2.4 doc (Section 31.9.1) describes the functions risnull and
rsetnull.   These are the names of the original Informix functions.  Are
they available for use through ecpg?

As always, TIA.

Yes. The 7.4 version had some naming problems.

Yes, they are. Just have a look at compatlib. They essantially only call
the above mentioned functions:

int
rsetnull(int t, char *ptr)
{
        ECPGset_noind_null(t, ptr);
        return 0;
}

int
risnull(int t, char *ptr)
{
        return (ECPGis_noind_null(t, ptr));
}

Hope this helps.
