Reads one or more file records, synchronously or asynchronously.

 

 

* hasError

(only C)

BOOL*

 

Only in C functions: bool pointer used in the C functions that indicates the return of the function is a system error and must be communicated to the Linkar SERVER

 

* callback

OperationAsyncCallbackString

OperationAsyncCallbackLkData

OperationAsyncCallbackClass

ArrayList

 

 

Return type in asynchronous methods. For further information see ASYNCHRONOUS CALLS

* credentialsOptions

CredentialsOptions

char*

 

 

Object that defines the necessary data to access the database: Username, Password, EntryPoint, Language, FreeText. In the C Direct Functions, it is a char*

* connectionInfo

(only C)

char*

 

Only in C Persistent Functions: string that is returned by the Login function and contains all the necessary connection data. This data is necessary in persistent functions.

 

* filename

string

char*

 

 

File name with source data.

* recordIds

string

 

 

The list of record keys, separated by the Record Separator character (30) : LinkarCommon.ASCII_Chars.RS.

If empty, use the readOptions parameter below.

dictClause

string

cha*

 


List of dictionary definitions IDs, separated by space. If definitions are not indicated the function will read the entire record.

readOptions

ReadOptions

char*

 

null

Nothing

 

Object of type ReadOptions provides details about how the read operation(s) will be done.

outputStringType

enum DataFormat.TYPE

typedef uint8_t DataFormatTYPE;

 

DataFormat.TYPE.MV

 

Format of the data to be returned: MV, XML, XML_DICT, XML_JSCH, JSON, JSON_DICT, JSON_SCH.

customVars

string

char*

 

This is a free text field to send in the transaction. If not empty, subroutine SUB.LK.MAIN.CONTROL.CUSTOM will be called. Add custom code to that subroutine to define special behaviours for some or all transactions.

 

receiveTimeout

Numeric

 

-1

0

 

This is the maximum time in seconds that the client will wait for a response. Use 0 for no timeout. This is a function-specific override : -1 in a Persistent function defaults back to the timeout defined in the LinkarClt constructor.

 

This function can generate exceptions.

In COM assemblies, a return value of type String will contain an error message if an error occurs when performing the operation.
