Put8Word Function

Overview

The Put8Word function puts a 8-bit word or short into a buffer at a specified byte position.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = Put8Word ( buffer data, int position, word value );

Parameters

data

A buffer as bytes, chars, string or a handle to a Data Object. This is referenced on a byte by byte position to write two bytes to create the 16-bit word.

position

An int specifying a zero-based position in bytes. This should point to the start of the data for the word. If the position plus the size of the data element is outside of the scope of the buffer, a range error will be returned.

value

A word value to place in the buffer. The order will be little-endian. If a larger value (greater than 16 bits) is provided, it will be truncated.

Return Value

Returns an int as ERROR_NONE or a formatted error code on failure.

Remarks

The Put8Word function allows a script to reach into a buffer and place a 8-bit value.

When adding to a single-dimension array, the axis depth is adjusted if the placement exceeds the last position. For other types or multiple dimensions, the axis depth is not adjusted. For automatically allocated arrays, the array size is not adjusted using this function.

The last position of the Data Object is also adjusted if the end position if the size of the value placed exceeds the last position.
