External Program Interfaces : Named Pipes : Windows named pipes : Linking OpenEdge and non-OpenEdge processes using Windows named pipes
Linking OpenEdge and non-OpenEdge processes using Windows named pipes
You can link OpenEdge and non-OpenEdge processes using Windows named pipes, just as you can using UNIX named pipes. The resulting application consists of:
A 32-bit OpenEdge Windows client running an ABL application in the background
A non-OpenEdge program
The OpenEdge program reads, writes, and closes one or more Windows named pipes. The non-OpenEdge program creates, connects, reads, writes, and closes the named pipe or pipes.
