Information Catalog Manager Programming Guide and Reference

Including header files

The Information Catalog Manager provides C language header files that define the function prototypes of the Information Catalog Manager API calls, constants, data types, and constants for Information Catalog Manager reason codes.

To work with the Information Catalog Manager, your programs must include these header files:

DG2API.H

Defines the constants for frequently used values, the Information Catalog Manager-specific data types, and the function prototypes for API calls.

Appendix B, The Information Catalog Manager API header file--DG2APIH contains a complete list of what is defined in the DG2API.H file.

DG2ERR.H

Defines constants for the Information Catalog Manager reason codes.

Your program must contain the following #define and #include statements to work with the Information Catalog Manager:

#define DGWIN32

#include WINDOWS.H

#include DG2API.H

#include DG2ERR.H

WINDOWS.H is part of the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler. This file embeds header files that define standard declarations for Windows data types that are used by the Information Catalog Manager.
