ds_set()

set a data server variable

Synopsis:

#include <ds.h>

int ds_set( ds_t dsdes,
            char *variable_name,
            char *variable_data,
            int data_len );

To display the modified data on an HTML page, use the qnxvar token with the read tag. See the description of slinger in the TCP/IP User's Guide.
