Representing values with structures

One of the most frequently used data structures is ARValueStruct. This structure stores values of any data type.

Many functions, such as ARCreateField and ARGetField, take parameters of type ARValueStruct directly. Other functions use parameters that contain ARValueStruct, such as ARQualifierStruct and ARFilterAction.

ARValueStruct has the following elements:



When a diary value is passed to the ARCreate Object or ARSet Object functions, the ARValueStruct value is the additional text to append to the diary field. When diary values are retrieved or passed to ARMergeEntry, the ARValueStruct value is a diary-formatted string containing the full diary text. To decode this string into an array of time-stamped entries, use the ARDecodeDiary function.
