NTPGetFieldType ( <ReportName>, <FieldNr>, <FieldTypeBuffer> ) -> <ErrorCode>

 

 

Description

 

Retrieves the "n-th" field type in a report definition. This function reads the field type from a report definition that has been saved on the file system. In order for the selected field type to be recorded, a buffer (<FieldTypeBuffer>) produced by Lotus Script must be passed to the command. If a field type is to be read from a report saved in a Notes database, use the function NTPGetFieldTypeFromDatabase instead.
