Informix® Object Interface for C++ GuideThe Informix® Object Interface for C++ Programmer's Guide describes how to develop HCL Informix® client applications by using the object-oriented C++ programming language.
AppendixesThis section contains additional reference information.
The ITLocale classThis section describes the ITLocale class, which encapsulates the GLS API.
Multibyte string traversal and indexing methodsThis section describes the following ITLocale methods for converting built-in data types to an internal representation.
The MNextChar methodThis method returns a pointer to the next multibyte character after the multibyte character s.

The MNextChar method

This method returns a pointer to the next multibyte character after the multibyte character s.

char *MNextChar(const char *s, int nbytes = ITLocale::ScanNoLimit) const

The nbytes parameter specifies the length of the corresponding multibyte character s. You can provide an integer to specify the number of bytes in s, in which case this method reads up to this many bytes from s when trying to form a complete character. Or you can set nbytes to ITLocale::ScanNoLimit (the default), in which case this method reads as many bytes as necessary to form a complete character.

If there is an error, this method returns NULL. Call ITLocale::GetError() to retrieve a specific error message.
