Before you can use SCL code to refer to an OLE automation object, you must first create an instance of the OLE automation class.

Example

This example creates a new OLE automation object and assigns the SCL identifier exclauto to the new object:

hostcl=loadclass('sashelp.fsp.hauto');
call send (hostcl, '_new', exclauto, 0,
          'Excel.Application.5');
