Retrieves the description for a text or image column.
Creates an rs_get_textptr function string for the repcopy column in the blurbs table. The function string name, copy, is the name of the text or image column in the replication definition.
create function string blurbs_rep.rs_get_textptr;copy for sqlserver2_function_class output language 'select repcopy from blurbs where au_id = ?au_id!new?'
Replication Server calls rs_get_textptr to retrieve a text or image column description before it sends data with the Client-Library function ct_send_data.
rs_get_textptr has replication definition scope.
When you create a replication definition, Replication Server generates an rs_get_textptr function string for the rs_sqlserver_function_class and rs_default_function_class classes for each replicated text or image column in the replication definition.
If you use a user-created base function string class, you must create an rs_get_textptr function string for each replicated text or image column included in the replication definition.
Create or customize an rs_get_textptr function string at the Replication Server where you created the replication definition.
rs_get_textptr must return a text column description for a text or image column in a specified row. The text column description must conform to Open Server requirements for returning an “I/O descriptor structure.” For information about this structure, refer to the Open Server Server-Library/C Reference Manual.
