Note: This function provides the ability to read a record of a previously
opened dataset out to a buffer. Transferred data is real data only. For further
information, see section
Reading Data.
• Argument:
– global: Global memory area (Specify a Global memory area gotten by
dataset_AllocGlobal.)
– g_error: Specify an address to store FAL error code.
– buf: Specify a buffer to store read data.
– buflen: Specify buffer size.
• Return Value:
– For dataset_Get():
• When this function ends normally, reclen (record length) is returned.
(1 record length≦32760).
• When this function ends abnormally, “- 1” is returned.
• When this function detects EOF, “0” is returned.
– For dataset_Get2():
• When this function ends normally, reclen (record length) is returned.
(0≦record length≦32760).
• When this function ends abnormally, “- 1” is returned.
• When this function detects EOF, “DATASET_ERROR_END_OF_FILE ”
is returned.
Note: When “- 1” is returned, refer to the content of g_error for error
