Stream object handle

The AVM creates a stream object when an application first tries to get the handle to a given stream. The AVM automatically deletes the stream object when the procedure or class that defines the stream terminates.

Syntax

STREAM stream-name:attribute

stream-name

The valid name of a stream. If the stream name is invalid, ABL raises a compiler error.

attribute

An attribute of the Stream object.

Attributes

ADM-DATA attribute	NAME attribute
HANDLE attribute	PRIVATE-DATA attribute
INSTANTIATING-PROCEDURE attribute	TYPE attribute

Example

This example shows how the HANDLE attribute of the stream object is assigned to hStream:

DEFINE VARIABLE hStream AS HANDLE NO-UNDO. DEFINE STREAM myStream. hStream = STREAM mySTream:HANDLE.
