INTEGER field(OIDSIZ)
INTEGER comp
INTEGER null_flag

Description

These routines get/set the NULL data flag (null_flag) in a Node_Data Data_Array that indicates the presence of NULL data. They also get/set the data value (null_value) that should be interpreted as meaning "no data here."

Parameters

field

The integer id of a field that contains a Node_Data subobject.

comp

An integer that sets which component [0-n] of the Node_Data to get/set.

null_flag

In FLDFget_node_null_data, an integer that signifies "NULL data is present" is returned. In FLDFset_node_null_flag, this sets null_flag within the Data_Array. By AVS/Express convention, 0 means there is no NULL data. Any other value means there is NULL data.

null_value

In FLDFget_node_null_data, an integer representing a pointer to a data item of unknown type in which the null data value this component is using will be returned.

In FLDFset_node_null_data, an integer representing a pointer to a data item of unknown type from which the null data value will be copied into the component.

type

FLDFset_node_null_data only. An integer that specifies the type of the null_value. This should match the primitive data type of the rest of the Data_Array. The choices are (defined in avs/om.h):
