DB-Library utility routines are included as part of DB-Library, while utility routines for Client-Library applications are provided by CS-Library.
dblib based bcp calls
are not supported against DOL or XNL tables. This is something that
developers need to consider as a factor.
CS-Library is a shared Open Client/Server library that includes routines for use in both Client-Library and Open Server Server-Library applications.
CS-Library includes routines to support the following:
Datatype conversion – cs_convert can replace calls to dbconvert.
Arithmetic operations – cs_calc can replace many different dbmny calls.
Character-set conversion – cs_locale and cs_convert can replace calls to dbload_xlate and dbxlate.
Datetime operations – cs_dt_crack can replace dbdtcrack calls.
Sort-order operations – cs_strcmp can replace dbstrsort calls.
Localized error messages – cs_strbuild can replace dbstrbuild calls.
CS-Library is documented in the Open Client and Open Server Common Libraries Reference Manual.
