Details

The _getReferenceId method is used to get the OLE object identifier. The value returned is used in subsequent _do or _compute calls where the OLE-supplied method requires an OLE object as one of its parameters. This value should be used for the object parameter.

Example

The following example returns the reference identifier for the OLE object. This identifier is then sent as a parameter value to an OLE-supplied method requiring an object identifier.

   call notify( 'oleobj1', 
                '_getReferenceId', refid);
   call notify( 'oleobj2', '_do', 'NewAppl',
                 refid, p1, p2);
