This is an old addition. Borland API documentation is incomplete.

All *_info() functions has the same format of returning data. You
can find it "Requesting information about an attachment" chapter of
API guide.

In your case "2" is "isc_info_truncated" const. Buffer is too
small.

Here is complete example of getting number of updated records:

char Items = isc_info_sql_records;
char Buffer[40];

FB_Call(fb_dsql_sql_info(status, &(CurStatement->Handle),
1, &Items, sizeof(Buffer), Buffer),
"TFBDB::ExecuteUpdate - get info");
char* p = Buffer;
char item = *p++;
if (item == isc_info_sql_records)
{
int length = fb_portable_integer(p, 2);
p += 2;
while ((item = *p++) != isc_info_end)
{
length = fb_portable_integer(p, 2);
p+=2;
if(item == isc_info_req_update_count)
{
/*This is the value we want - No of Rows Affected */
int value = fb_portable_integer(p, length);
return value;
}
p += length;
}
}
