==== Description ====
 
MVBFS_NATIVE_TABLE is a function added in OpenInsight 9.4 to allow developers to read or write records to server-side tables even if they are not mapped.  The primary purpose is to let a developer read or write values to a non-standard dictionary row, for instance a  sequence counter.
 
==== Syntax ====
 
Function MVBFS_NATIVE_TABLE(VolName, Method, NativeTable, key, Record)
 
==== Parameters ====
 
The function has the following parameters:

^Parameter^Description^
|VolName|(in) Volume ( Connection ) name|
|Method|(in) One of ("READ READU WRITEU WRITE RELEASE DELETE" )|

==== Example ====

<code>
** Read and write values to a native table or dict for a table on a connected server

** The connection (volname) must be configured, but the table need not be attached / mapped

**

** The goal is to access dictionary rows that are not mapped to the shadow dictionary

** because they have an invalid type.  But it can be used for any table on the server

** See Also RTI_READU, RTI_WRITERELEASE 

** Example :  Read a value from a dictionary

volname = 'QM_BOBCART'

method = 'READ'

nativetable = 'DICT TEST_SELECT'

key = 'MY.SEQUENTIAL.COUNTERS'

record = ""

Call MVBFS_NATIVE_TABLE(VolName, Method, NativeTable, key, record, status)

value = record<1>
