Description
Performs a buffer copy from a source buffer to a target buffer using the specified field mappings to copy the data.
Parameters
| ihSourceBuffer | input | handle | Handle to the source buffer from which the data is going to be copied. |
| ihTargetBuffer | input | handle | Handle to the target buffer to which the data is going to be copied. |
| icBufferFieldMapping | input | character | Comma delimited list of the field mappings between the buffers. It does not matter if the list is in <target-buffer-field>,<source-buffer-field> order or vice versa progress will automatically switch the fields depending on is the target and source buffers. |
| icExcludeFields | input | character | Contains a comma delimited list of the fields that should not be copied by the from the source to the target. |
| oiReturnStatus | output | integer | Return status of the method. |
