Summary

#include <dataman/dataman.h>

get_next(idx_name) else ...

char *idx_name;

Description

int db_g_next(idx_name)

This function retrieves the next higher order key and its associated record from the named index. Idx_name is the name of the index that the next key is to be retrieved from. If the current key is last in the index, the else clause is executed. If there is a next key in the named index, the current record in memory is flushed, the index KP is set to the next key, the MFRP is set to the associated record and that record is retrieved.

Example    #include <dataman/dataman.h>     main(argc,argv)     {         get_first(num_ix) else    /* get first account */             fatal("Index %s is empty\n",num_ix);         while (1) {               ...                     /* process */             get_next(num_ix) else     /* next account */                 break;                /* end loop */         }     }

    This will loop through an entire index.
