Description |
|---|---|

Return value
String.
Returns the syntax of the object if it succeeds. The syntax is the same as the syntax returned when you export an object in the Library painter except that LibraryExport does not include an export header. Returns the empty string ("") if an error occurs. If any argument's value is null, LibraryExport returns null.
Examples
These statements export the DataWindow object dw_emp from the library called dwTemp to a string named ls_dwsyn and then use it to create a DataWindow:
String ls_dwsyn, ls_errors
ls_dwsyn = LibraryExport("c:\pb\dwTemp.pbl", &
"d_emp", ExportDataWindow!)
dw_1.Create(ls_dwsyn, ls_errors)See also
Create method for DataWindows in the section called “Create” in DataWindow Reference.
