You can invoke the EXPORT( ) method at any time, as many times as you need to, within a PAS for OpenEdge session. When you invoke the method, you have the option to pass it a comma-separated list of procedure names. Any format for a procedure name that is valid for the ABL RUN statement is also valid when you call the EXPORT( ) method. Each time you invoke the method, any procedure names that you specify are added to the current export list. If you invoke the method without a parameter (with no list of procedure names), the export list is reset to empty, as if the EXPORT( ) method were never called.

To set export lists consistently for all client connections requires a different sequence of EXPORT( ) method settings depending on the application model of your connection. For more information on setting export lists for different application models, see Design and Implementation Considerations.
