Copies data from a buffer that is defined by a pointer, into a variable that is directly accessible by the application. It is used in host languages, such as FORTRAN and COBOL, that do not provide pointer manipulation. This API can be used to obtain results from APIs, such as sqlengne - Get Next Node Directory Entry, that return a pointer to the desired data.
