| Description
dc_tost() copies the string containing the user's field input into the data variable. If PICSKIP is ON, the protected characters in the field string are deleted before the string is placed in the data variable. If TRAILBLANKS is ON, trailing blanks are retained. If TRAILBLANKS is OFF, trailing blanks are stripped by placing the null terminator '\0' after the last non-blank character in the string. The defaults are to retain the protected characters (PICSKIP is OFF) and to strip the trailing blanks (TRAILBLANKS is OFF). |
