The ABL elements related to the call object consist of a statement, a handle, attributes, and methods.
Note: For more information on these ABL elements, see ABL Reference.
The CREATE CALL statement creates
a call object, then stores a handle to it in the handle variable
you specify.
A call object handle lets you do the following dynamically:
- Invoke an external procedure, internal procedure, or user-defined function
- Invoke a Windows DLL routine or UNIX shared library routine
- Get or set a handle attribute
- Run a handle method
