Variable I/O Description
-------- --- --------------------------------------------------
n O Number of loaded tables.
- Detailed_Input
None.
- Detailed_Output
n is the number of loaded tables. The count refers
to the number of logical tables; if multiple
segments contain data for the same table, these
segments collectively contribute only one table
to the count.
- Parameters
None.
- Particulars
This routine is a utility that provides the caller with the
number of loaded tables. Callers of ektnam_c can use this count
as the upper bound on set of table indices when looking up table
names.
- Examples
1) Suppose we have the following list of EK files and tables
contained in those files:
File name Table name
--------- ----------
FILE_1.EK TABLE_1
TABLE_2
FILE_2.EK TABLE_1
TABLE_3
FILE_3.EK TABLE_2
TABLE_3
TABLE_4
Then after loading these files, the call
ekntab_c ( &n );
sets n to the value 4.
- Restrictions
None.
- Exceptions
None.
- Files
The returned count is based on the currently loaded EK files.
