Kade:
Perhaps the following snippet will give you some ideas:
// note that this function leaves the record locked
// if and only if it returns 0 (no err)
Err YourUnpack(
DmOpenRef pDb, // IN database reference
UInt16 index, // IN record index
MLSDB * pRec) // IN/OUT pointer to struct, to be filled in
{
Char* p;
MemHandle h;
Int32 len;
h = DmQueryRecord(pDb, index);
if (h)
{
MemSet(pRec, sizeof(MLSDB), 0);
p = MemHandleLock(h);
// date
len = StrLen(p);
pRec->date = p;
// away
p += len;
len = StrLen(p);
pRec->away = p;
// etc., etc.
}
else
{
return -1;
}
return 0;
}

I must not have explained it well. The Databse record in the PDB DOES
contain the character strings. The struct that I am using to access the DB
record is the one with the pointers in it.
