Length Functions

Length Functions

Use the length functions when you want the procedure to access the length of a string or binary input port, or to set the length of a binary or string output port.
Use the following length functions:
  • INFA_CTGetLength().
    Use this function for string and binary ports only. The Integration Service returns the length as the number of characters including trailing spaces. Use the following syntax:
    INFA_UINT32 INFA_CTGetLength(INFA_CT_INPUTPORT_HANDLE dataHandle);
    The return value datatype is INFA_UINT32. Use a value between zero and 2GB for the return value.
  • INFA_CTSetLength().
    When the Custom transformation contains a binary or string output port, you must use this function to set the length of the data, including trailing spaces. Verify you the length you set for string and binary ports is not greater than the precision for that port. If you set the length greater than the port precision, you get unexpected results. For example, the session may fail.
    Use the following syntax:
    INFA_STATUS INFA_CTSetLength(INFA_CT_OUTPUTPORT_HANDLE dataHandle, IUINT32 length);
    The return value datatype is INFA_STATUS. Use INFA_SUCCESS and INFA_FAILURE for the return value.
