| CVSMBF Function Programming Example |
|
| The following program reads records from a random-access file containing |
| Microsoft Binary format real numbers stored as strings. Each record |
| contains a student's name and a test score. |
|   |
| ' |
| ' Define a user type for the data records. |
| ' |
| TYPE StudentRec |
|    NameField AS STRING * 20 |
|    Score AS STRING * 4 |
| END TYPE |
| ' Define a variable of the user type. |
| DIM Rec AS StudentRec |
| '******************************************************************** |
| ' This part of the program is an insert whose only function is to |
| ' create a random-access file to be used by the second part of the |
| ' program, which demonstrates the CVSMBF function |
| '******************************************************************** |
| OPEN "TESTDAT1.DAT" FOR RANDOM AS #1 LEN = LEN(Rec) |
| CLS |
| RESTORE |
| READ NameField$, Score$ |
| I = 0 |
| DO WHILE UCASE$(NameField$) <> "END" |
|    I = I + 1 |
|    Rec.NameField = NameField$ |
|    Rec.Score = Score$ |
|    PUT #1, I, Rec |
|    READ NameField$, Score$ |
|    IF NameField$ = "END" THEN EXIT DO |
| LOOP |
| CLOSE #1 |

|   DATA "John Simmons","100" |
|   DATA "Allie Simpson","95" |
|   DATA "Tom Tucker","72" |
|   DATA "Walt Wagner","90" |
|   DATA "Mel Zucker","92" |
|   DATA "END","0" |
