    cbBuffer : UDINT;
    cbSize   : UDINT;
END_VAR

eCmd: Control parameter for the function block (type: E_EnumCmdType). eEnumCmd_First returns the first segment, eEnumCmd_Next returns the next segment. No other parameters are used.

pBuffer: Address (pointer) of the data buffer to be divided. The address can be determined with the ADR operator.

cbBuffer: Length of the data buffer to be divided. The length can be determined with the SIZEOF operator.

cbSize: Maximum segment size into which the data buffer is to be divided.

    bOk       : BOOL;
    pSegment  : POINTER TO BYTE;
    cbSegment : UDINT;
    bEOS      : BOOL;
END_VAR

bOk: TRUE = success, FALSE = error, invalid parameter value or no further segment available.

pSegment: Address (pointer) to the next data segment.

cbSegment: Length (bytes) of the next data segment.

bEOS: End of segment. TRUE = last segment. FALSE = further segments follow.

Example:

In the following example the buffer variable is divided into 5-byte segments. The returned segments are converted to a hexadecimal string for test purposes.
