Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Developing AppServer Applications

Creating a server object handle

To create a server object handle, you must define a HANDLE variable and execute the CREATE SERVER statement to store the new server object handle:

DEFINE VARIABLE hAppSrv AS HANDLE NO-UNDO. CREATE SERVER hAppSrv.

You can then use this handle to physically connect to an AppServer instance or logically connect to an application service.
