ECPG, sentence not complete

Hi, we're translating the ecpg.xml from scratch in french, as it seems
to have moved a lot with 9.0 and 9.1.

I'm having trouble with this:

3948 <term><literal>desc_next</></term>
3949 <listitem>
3950 <para>
3951 If the query returns more than one records, multiple linked
SQLDA structures
3952 are returned, the first record is stored in the SQLDA
returned in the
3953 </para>
3954 </listitem>

Seems to me there are some words missing, but maybe it's a continuation
to the next paragraph. Anyway I don't want to guess what should be
there, so if anyone can explain this to me :)

Cheers

Marc

This problem has been living since 9.0 or before.

I think it should be rewritten as following:
---------------------------------------------------------
If the query returns more than one records, multiple linked
SQLDA structures are returned, and <literal>desc_next</>
holds a pointer to the next element (record) in the list.
---------------------------------------------------------

"more than one records" isn't right -- it could be "multiple
records" or "more than one record".

Hi, I've found another problem in ECPG's doc:

<varlistentry>
<term><literal>ECPG_INFORMIX_DATE_CONVERT</></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Functions return this value if Internally it is defined to -1210
(the
<productname>Informix</productname> definition).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><literal>ECPG_INFORMIX_OUT_OF_MEMORY</></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Functions return this value if Internally it is defined to -1211
(the
<productname>Informix</productname> definition).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

There are a few words missing.

Cheers

Sorry to give them as small batches like that. I've found 3 other ones
(the last ones I hope, as I've finished translating everything else from
the file).
Same problem as before, there are a few words missing.

<term><literal>ECPG_INFORMIX_BAD_EXPONENT</></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Functions return this value if Internally it is defined to -1216
(the
<productname>Informix</productname> definition).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><literal>ECPG_INFORMIX_BAD_DATE</></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Functions return this value if Internally it is defined to -1218
(the
<productname>Informix</productname> definition).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><literal>ECPG_INFORMIX_EXTRA_CHARS</></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Functions return this value if Internally it is defined to -1264
(the
<productname>Informix</productname> definition).
</para>
</listitem>

There are a few words missing.

I have applied the attached patch to fix these cases, and clean up the
wording a little. Thanks for the report. It is great you are
translating the docs into French.
