Example

To print out the synonym of the state S1 (if no synonym is defined in the state’s form, print missing synonym), use the following statements:

int status;
stm_id state_id;
stm_short_name synonym;
.
.
.
state_id = stm_r_st ("S1", &status);
synonym = stm_r_st_synonym (state_id, &status);
if (status == stm_missing_synonym)
printf ("\n synonym: *missing synonym*");
else
printf ("\n synonym: %s", synonym);
 

The stm_id data-type is defined in the Dataport Library definition file, dataport.h. Refer to Data Types for a complete list of data-type definitions.
