MLPutUCS2Symbol has been replaced by WSPutUCS2Symbol.

int MLPutUCS2Symbol(MLINK link,const unsigned short *s,int len)

puts a symbol whose name is given by s with length len to the MathLink connection specified by link.

Details

  • The symbol must be encoded in the UCS-2 character encoding scheme.
  • MLPutUCS2Symbol() returns 0 in the event of an error, and a nonzero value if the function succeeds.
  • Use MLError() to retrieve the error code if MLPutUCS2Symbol() fails.
  • MLPutUCS2Symbol() is declared in the MathLink header file mathlink.h.
