L_DicomSetLongValue

Summary

Sets the long value(s) of a Data Element.

Syntax

#include "Ltdic.h"

L_LTDIC_API L_BOOL L_DicomSetLongValue(hDS, pElement, pValue, nCount)

Parameters

pDICOMELEMENT pElement

Pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure within the Data Set.

L_INT32 * pValue

Pointer to a long that contains the long value(s) to set. If you want to set multiple values in the Value Field, put all long values in pValue and set nCount to the appropriate number of values.

L_UINT32 nCount

Value that indicates the number of values to set in the Value Field. If you want to set multiple values in the Value Field, put all the long values in pValue and set nCount to the appropriate number.

Returns

Value	Meaning
TRUE	The long value(s) were set successfully.
FALSE	Could not set the long value(s) of the Data Element.

Comments

Note: You must allocate the memory for pValue.

If you want to set more than one value in the Value Field of the Data Element, put all the long values in an array of long values, set pValue to the address of the array, and set nCount to the corresponding number of entries. For example, if you wish to set three long values in the Value Field of the Data Element, create an array of longs containing the three long values, set pValue to the address of the array, and set nCount to three.

If more than one value is stored in the Value Field of the Data Element, you must set all values at the same time.

This function can be called only if the Value Representation of the Data Element is VR_AT, VR_IS, VR_SL, or VR_UL. For more information about Value Representations, refer to Default Value Representation Table.
