Function
Extracts a component from a Field.
Syntax
#include <dx/dx.h>
Object DXExtract(Object o, char *name)
Functional Details
For each Field in Object o, the routine returns the Object specified by name (typically an Array). Object o can be a simple Field or any Object that can contain Fields (e.g., Groups or Series).
If Object o is a single Field, a single Object is returned (typically an Array). If Object o is anything else, the Object hierarchy is preserved, and each Field is replaced by component name.
Return Value
Returns o or returns NULL and sets an error code. It is an error if no component of the specified name is found in any Field of o.
