The following example is based on the following ARRAY definition:
/*Oracle-compatible and Teradata syntax respectively: */
CREATE TYPE phonenumbers_ary AS VARRAY(5) OF CHAR(10);
CREATE TYPE phonenumbers_ary AS CHAR(10) ARRAY[5];
/* This function sets the values of a set of consecutive elements from */
/* a source array phone_ary1 to the same range of values in phone_ary2.*/
void setMultiElement ( ARRAY_HANDLE *phone_ary1,
ARRAY_HANDLE *phone_ary2,
INTEGER *result,
char sqlstate[6])
{
long length;
long bufferSize = SIZEOF_CHARACTER_LATIN_WITH_NULL(10) * 5;
char *resultBuf;
NullBitVecType *NullBitVector;
array_info_t arrayInfo;
long nullVecBufSize;
bounds_t *arrayRange;
bounds_t arrayScope[FNC_ARRAYMAXDIMENSIONS];
/* Call FNC_GetArrayTypeInfo first to find out the number of */
/* elements in the array. */
FNC_GetArrayTypeInfo(*phone_ary1,
&arrayInfo,
arrayScope);
nullVecBufSize = arrayInfo.totalNumElements;
resultBuf = (char*)FNC_malloc(bufferSize);
arrayRange =
(bounds_t*)FNC_malloc(sizeof(bounds_t)*arrayInfo.numDimensions);
/* Allocate a new NullBitVector to pass to FNC_GetArrayElements. */
NullBitVector = (NullBitVecType*) FNC_malloc (nullVecBufSize);
/* Set all members of NullBitVector to 0. */
memset(NullBitVector, 0, nullVecBufSize);
/* Set values of arrayRange to correspond to the range [1:3] */
arrayRange[0].lowerBound = 1;
arrayRange[0].upperBound = 3;
/*Get elements within the range [1:3] of phone_ary1. */
FNC_GetArrayElements(*phone_ary1, arrayRange, resultBuf, bufferSize,
NullBitVector, nullVecBufSize, &length);
/* Set the elements in positions 1-3 of phone_ary2 to the same */
/* values as the corresponding elements in phone_ary1. */
FNC_SetArrayElementsWithMultiValues(*phone_ary2, arrayRange,
(void*)resultBuf, length, NullBitVector, nullVecBufSize);
