Sets the specified number of bytes from the MEMPTR variable starting at startIndex in a BytesMessage.

Syntax

PROCEDURE setMemptr.
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER memptrVar AS MEMPTR.
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER startIndex AS INTEGER.
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER numBytes AS INTEGER.

Applies to

Message objects

Notes

  • The first byte is 1.
  • setMemptr procedure implicitly calls clearBody procedure before setting the data and resets after setting the data. Therefore, it can be used whether the message is in a read-only mode or a write-only mode prior to the call.
  • The call makes a copy of the data. Thus, the memptrVar variable is not modified by the ABL–JMS implementation and can be modified by the OpenEdge application after the call without corrupting the message.
