Using a multisegment key containing a date in VB4 using API 1

[Guest_imported]

Have a file that has a multisegment key:
keynumber is 4
key consists of segments
q as string *1
qdate as btrievedate
How do I code in VB4 to use this key using API calls, e.g what should the declare be?

Are you looking for the KeyBuffer declaration? If so it's something like:
type btrievedate
bDay As Byte
bMonth As Byte
iYear As Integer
End Type
public type Key4
q as string *1
qdate as btrievedate
end type
You would then use the UDT in the BTRCALL Get(First,Next,Prev,Last,Equal,etc) operation.
