 putValue()
 Assign a value to the current column (field)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Prototype

     ERRCODE putValue(
                          AREAP wa,
                          USHORT fieldNum,
                          ITEM value
                        )

 Arguments

     wa is a pointer to self.

     fieldNum specifies the ordinal position of the column whose value is
     to be assigned.

     value is a CA-Clipper item which contains the value to place at the
     current cursor position.

 Description

     putValue() places a value in the column at the current work area cursor position.

 Default Behavior

     You must implement the default behavior of this method through a
     subclass.

 Implementation Notes

     .  putValue() should check wa->lpFields[fieldNum] to retrieve the
        column information.  This allows your implementation of putValue() to
        translate the CA-Clipper value to the RDD's native data store format.

     .  putValue() must address the shared and read-only status of the
        work area.  Calling putValue() must trigger a call to goHot().

     .  putValue() is one of the few work area methods that the
        CA-Clipper runtime calls without benefit of a higher-level wrapper
        function.  The following code generates a call to this method:

        MYDATA->BobDobbs := cBobDobbs

     .  If your RDD supports relations, update them with a forceRel()
        prior to placing a value in the buffer.
