Example 1

SMC_DATAITEM_STRUCT  dataItem =

                         SMC_STAT_VALUE_SAMPLE };

 SMC_DATAITEM_TYPE dataItemType;
 SMC_DATAITEM_TYPEP dataItemTypeHandle = &dataItemType;

         dataItemTypeHandle) != SMC_RET_SUCCESS) 
 {
 		printf("smc_get_dataitem_type failed\n");
 		/* do some cleanup */
 }

Usage

• The data item types are as follows:

  Data item type	Description
  SMC_DI_TYPE_CHARP	Pointer to a character string.
  SMC_DI_TYPE_DATIM	Sybase date and time.
  SMC_DI_TYPE_DOUBLE	Double-precision floating-point number.
  SMC_DI_TYPE_ENUMS	An enumerated datatype, specific to the data item. Enumerated types are defined in the mctype.sh include file and in Appendix B, “Datatypes and Structures”.
  SMC_DI_TYPE_INT	Integer.
  SMC_DI_TYPE_LONG	Long integer.

• If you supply a data item and statistical type that Monitor Client Library does not support, the output parameter type is set to SMC_DI_TYPE_NONE.
