Meaning of the Third Long in a Cluster

Go Up to Parsing the Status Vector

If the first long in a cluster is 3 (isc_arg_cstring), the total length of the cluster is three longs. The third long always contains the address of a message string requiring translation into a standard, null-terminated C string before display. Such a string is often a file or path name. InterBase functions like isc_interprete() automatically handle this translation for you.
