       o This routine returns a pointer to the null-terminated name of a
         regular (i.e., non-compute) result column.
       o Here's a small program fragment that uses dbcolname():

         DBPROCESS       *dbproc;

         /* put the command into the command buffer */
         dbcmd(dbproc, "select name, id, type from sysobjects");

         /* send the command to SQL Server and begin execution */
         dbsqlexec(dbproc);

         /* process the command results */
         dbresults(dbproc);

         /* examine the column names */

         printf("first column name is %s\n", dbcolname(dbproc, 1));
         printf("second column name is %s\n", dbcolname(dbproc, 2));
         printf("third column name is %s\n", dbcolname(dbproc, 3));


  PARAMETERS:
       dbproc -  A pointer to the DBPROCESS structure that provides  the
           connection for a particular front-end/SQL Server process.  It
           contains all the information that DB-Library uses  to  manage
           communications and data between the front end and SQL Server.
       column -  The number of the column of interest.  The first column
           is number 1.

  RETURNS:
       A char pointer to the  null-terminated  name  of  the  particular
       column.   If  the  column  number  is  not  in range, dbcolname()
       returns NULL.
