ClientID Parameter

When developing an application using the BTRVID function rather than BTRV, you must specify an additional parameter called a ClientID. This allows an application to assign itself more than one client identity to Btrieve and execute operations for one client without affecting the state of the other clients.

For example, assume that two applications are running on Windows and each uses three different clientIDs. This counts as six Active Clients. It does not matter if this is two instances of the same application (and the same ClientID values in each instance) or two different applications. Btrieve distinguishes between each of the six ClientIDs.
