14.2 AL_GetCycleMode
Prototype C\C++
ERRNUM AL_GetCycleMode(LHLD lhld, LPSTR lpstrMode, long lMaxLength);
Visual Basic for Windows
Function AL_GetCycleMode(ByVal lhld As Long, ByVal lpstrMode As String,
ByVal lMaxLength As Long) As Long
LHLD lhld
handle of the LDSD
LPSTR lpstrMode destination address of the cycle mode string
long lMaxLength the count in bytes to be copied
The AL_GetCycleMode function retrieves the current software cycle operation mode of the LDSD.
Parameter Description
lhld Identifies the instance of the logical device subsystem.
lpstrMode
Points to the destination string for the copy.
lMaxLength
Maximum length in bytes to be copied to the user string , including the NULL
termination character.
Returns:
On success ERRNUM is set to 1 and destination string lpstrMode is set to either AL_SINGLE_CYCLE or
AL_CONTINUOUS_CYCLE as defined in the ADLIB include file, otherwise ERRNUM contains the last
error code that occurred during the call and the destination string is considered invalid.
