PDMPIVsGetWhereUsedDependencies

All,
Does anyone have any code that they could share that uses the API
PDMPIVsGetWhereUsedDependencies? I am having some trouble getting this to
return some PIV's. Thanks.

Bob,
Thanks for looking. I guess it is a new function with Intralink 3.3. There
is no example code in the API wizard so I was just fishing for some. Maybe
I'll contact PTC.

All,
Jim was right, the cursor returned was a cursor of HPDMDEPENDENCY handles.
Here is the code for anyone else who is having trouble.
