Usage

• srv_xferdata is used to send parameter or row data to a client (CS_SET), or retrieve parameter or key data from a client. Specifically, it moves data out of local program variables and across the network to the client (CS_SET), or across the network from a client and into local program variables (CS_GET).

• The data as it must appear to the client (CS_SET) or appeared to the client (CS_GET) must have previously been described using srv_descfmt. The application must also have previously called srv_bind to define local program variables.

• srv_xferdata must be called once for each parameter stream (CS_GET, CS_SET) or once for each data row (CS_SET).
