PCDPutDoc
PCDPutDoc
PCDPutDoc allows you to obtain and manage a set of PCDPutStream
object pointers that your customized client application can use to write
the physical files that make up one version of a DM document to the
appropriate DM repository.
Syntax
PCDPutDoc. methodOrProperty
Usage
The particular document/version that is to be written is determined by
setting search criteria. Normally, this would be the document ID
number, the version ID number, and possibly the sub-version
identifier. The actual names of these properties is determined by how
they are identified on the search form, rather than the names of the SQL
database columns they reference.
Note: While the DM API allows you to change the name of fields on forms you
create (or modify), you should only do this when absolutely necessary. You
should never rename original fields on the standard forms that DM creates
when you initially install it.
Also, you must set the NUM_COMPONENTS property in the search
criteria. This tells the server how many component files will make up
the document version. The default is 1, but some applications (such as
some CAD/CAM files) are comprised of several component files.
After calling Execute , you can call GetRowsFound to return
NUM_COMPONENTS . Use NextRow or SetRow to iterate through the rows
found. For each of the component files, use
GetPropertyValue (“ CONTENT ”) to retrieve a PCDPutStream object
pointer to use to write the file.
Example
The following example shows how you can use the PCDPutDoc object
in your custom applications.
