#SETBYTES Built-In Function
#SETBYTES Built-In Function
#SETBYTES moves data between STRUCTs. Use #SETBYTES to fill one STRUCT or
STRUCT item with as many copies of the data from another STRUCT or STRUCT item
as can fit, without regard to the data types of the fields involved.
destination
is the STRUCT or STRUCT item to receive the copy or copies.
source
is the STRUCT or STRUCT item from which the data is to be copied.
Result
#SETBYTES returns nothing.
Considerations
•
If the entire source STRUCT or STRUCT item cannot be copied, #SETBYTES
copies as many bytes as can fit.
•
If the move changes the type definitions of the items, TACL might be unable to
display or invoke the STRUCT.
