RAW statement

(ORACLE only)

Writes bytes to a field.

Syntax

RAW ( field[ , position[ , length]] ) = expression
field
The field in which you want to store expression.
position
An integer expression that indicates the position in field where you want to store expression. The default for position is 1.
length
An integer expression that indicates the number of positions you want to replace in field. If you do not use the length argument, RAW puts expression into field from position to end. ABL treats variable-length fields and fixed-length fields differently. See the Notes section for more information.
expression
A function or variable name that returns data and results in the bytes that you want to store in field.
