Buffer object handle

A handle to a buffer object, corresponding to an underlying ABL buffer, which can be static or dynamic. An example of a static underlying buffer is one you define at compile time by using the DEFINE BUFFER statement, or by implicitly referencing a table in an ABL construct such as Customer.CustNum. An example of a dynamic underlying buffer is one you create at run time with the CREATE BUFFER statement.
