PROTOTYPE

#include "ciflib.h"

int cifGetItemPrimitiveCodeByIndex(const int  dataBlockIndex, 
                                   const int  categoryIndex,
                                   const int  itemIndex)

PURPOSE

cifGetItemPrimitiveCodeByIndex returns an integer code describing the primitive data type of the target item. The target item is identified by its item index and the indices of the category and data block in which it is defined.

RECEIVES

dataBlockIndex	zero-based index of the target data block
categoryIndex	zero-based index of the target category
itemIndex	zero-based index of the target keyword in the target category
