PUT-INT64 statement

Stores the signed 64-bit value of an INT64 or INTEGER expression at the specified memory location as an INT64 data type.

Syntax


PUT-INT64 ( `destination` , `position` ) = `expression`

destination

A variable of type RAW or MEMPTR. If destination is the Unknown value (?), it remains the Unknown value (?). If destination is a MEMPTR and its region in not allocated (by a SET-SIZE statement or by a Windows dynamic link library (DLL) or UNIX shared library routine), the AVM generates a run-time error.

position

An integer value greater than 0 that indicates the byte position where the AVM stores expression. If position is less than 1, the AVM generates a run-time error.

For a RAW destination, if position is greater than the length of destination, the AVM increases the length of destination to position plus the remaining bytes needed to store expression. The gap between the original destination length and position is padded with null bytes.

For a MEMPTR destination, if position is greater than the length of destination or does not leave sufficient room to store expression, the AVM generates a run-time error.

expression

The integer value of a constant, field, variable, function, or expression.

Example

See the example in the GET-INT64 function section.
