Description

sm_ldb_putfield reads the contents of the specified buffer into an entry or array occurrence in the specified LDB. This function and its variants let you specify an LDB by name or by handle. The LDB must be among one of the LDBs loaded into memory. If multiple instances of the same LDB are loaded, you can get the value from the desired instance by specifying its handle; if you specify the LDB by name, Panther gets the value from the last-loaded instance.
