CHARACTER CHARACTER SET GRAPHIC - Analytics Database - Teradata Vantage

C Data Type Definition

typedef unsigned short GRAPHIC;

Usage

Fixed length graphic data that requires padding uses the ideographic space (U+3000).

If the function result type is fixed length graphic data, then the result argument points to a data area with the size set to the maximum defined by the RETURNS clause in the CREATE FUNCTION statement.

Here is an example using CHARACTER(n) CHARACTER SET GRAPHIC in a UDF definition and C function declaration.

CREATE FUNCTION F1 (
  A CHARACTER(30) CHARACTER SET GRAPHIC)
RETURNS CHARACTER(12) CHARACTER SET GRAPHIC
 ...;

void f1( GRAPHIC *a,
         GRAPHIC *result,
   ... )
{  ... }
