Preparing the plcstdrv.c file

To prepare the plcstdrv.c file:

Use the following code as a template to create the plcstdrv.c file. You can copy a template for plcstdrv.c from the $INFORMIXDIR/incl/hpl directory.

/*******************************************************
 * Start of plcstdrv.c 
 */

/* plcstdrv.h is in $INFORMIXDIR/incl/hpl */
#include "plcstdrv.h"

/* Your driver configuration function */
int your_driver_config_function(); 

(*pl_get_user_method(driver, method)) ()
char *driver;
intmethod;
{
/*
 * your_driver_name is the name of your driver 
 */
if (strcmp(driver, "your_driver_name") == 0)
{
/*
 * If onpload is trying to configure the driver, 
 * return the function that will handle the 
 * initialization.
 */
if (method == PL_MTH_CONFIGURE)
return(your_driver_config_function);
}
/*
 * YYYY is the name of another driver
 * This is how additional custom drivers are configured
 */
if (strcmp(driver, "YYYY") == 0)
{
if (method == PL_MTH_CONFIGURE)
return(YYYY_driver_config_function);
}
}
/***************** end of plcstdrv.c *******************/

Replace your_driver_name with the name of the driver that you chose in step 1 of Adding the driver name to the onpload database.
Replace your_driver_config_function with the function name of the driver-configuration function that you coded in your_custom_driver.c.
To add multiple custom drivers, repeat the main if statement for each driver.
