Description
Establishes the list of libraries for an ORCA session. ORCA searches the libraries in the list to resolve object references.
Syntax
INT PBORCA_SessionSetLibraryList ( HPBORCA hORCASession, LPTSTR *pLibNames, INT iNumberOfLibs );
Argument |
Description |
---|---|
hORCASession |
Handle to previously established ORCA session. |
*pLibNames |
Pointer to an array of pointers to strings. The values of the strings are file names of libraries. Include the full path for each library where possible. |
iNumberOfLibs |
Number of library name pointers in the array pLibNames points to. |
Return value
INT. Typical return codes are:
Return code |
Description |
---|---|
0 PBORCA_OK |
Operation successful |
-1 PBORCA_INVALIDPARMS |
Invalid parameter list |
-4 PBORCA_BADLIBRARY |
Bad library name or a library on the list does not exist |
Usage
You must call PBORCA_SessionSetLibraryList and PBORCA_SessionSetCurrentAppl before calling any ORCA function that compiles or queries objects.
Library names should be fully qualified wherever possible.
Changing the library list
You can set the current application and library list only once in a session. If you need to change either the library list or current application after it has been set, close the session and open a new session.
How ORCA uses the library list
ORCA uses the search path to find referenced objects when you regenerate or query objects during an ORCA session. Just like PowerBuilder, ORCA looks through the libraries in the order in which they are specified in the library search path until it finds a referenced object.
Functions that don't need a library list
You can call the following library management functions and source control functions without setting the library list:
PBORCA_LibraryCommentModify
PBORCA_LibraryCreate
PBORCA_LibraryDelete
PBORCA_LibraryDirectory
PBORCA_LibraryEntryCopy
PBORCA_LibraryEntryDelete
PBORCA_LibraryEntryExport
PBORCA_LibraryEntryInformation
PBORCA_LibraryEntryMove
Examples
This example builds an array of library file names for PocketBuilder and sets the session's library list:
LPTSTR lpLibraryNames[4]; // specify the library names lpLibraryNames[0] = _TEXT("c:\\qadb\\qadbtest\\qadbtest.pkl"); lpLibraryNames[1] = _TEXT("c:\\qadb\\shared_obj\\shared_obj.pkl"); lpLibraryNames[2] = _TEXT("c:\\qadb\\chgreqs\\chgreqs.pkl"); lpLibraryNames[3] = _TEXT("c:\\qadb\\datatypes\\datatypes.pkl"); lpORCA_Info->lReturnCode = PBORCA_SessionSetLibraryList( lpORCA_Info->hORCASession, lpLibraryNames, 4);
In these examples, session information is saved in the data structure ORCA_Info, shown in About the examples.
