_getReferenceId gets the OLE object identifier. The value returned is used in subsequent method 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 automation object. This identifier is then sent as a parameter value to an OLE-supplied method requiring an object identifier.

   call send(oleobj1, '_getReferenceId',
             refid);
   call send(oleobj2, '_do', 'NewChart',
             refid, p1, p2);
