The DBCACNX consists of two logical sections:
  • Header
  • Element

One header always exists and is followed by one or more elements. If data is associated with an element, it may either be included with the element or pointed to by the element. More than one extension may be chained together.

Header

Level should be set to 2.



A structure DBCACNX is defined in the dbcacnx.h file with the above format.

DBCACNX Element Fields when Level is set to 2.



Structures 'D8XCELEM' and ‘D8XCED’ are defined in the dbcacnx.h file with the above format.

The sections that follow describe each of the fields, in alphabetical order.

Data-length

Data-length is a four-byte unsigned integer field into which the length of the data is placed. If no data is associated with this type, the field is zero.
