getMEMPTR function

Returns a reference to a MEMPTR variable that contains exactly all the bytes of a BytesMessage.

Syntax

FUNCTION getMemptr RETURNS MEMPTR.

Applies to

Message objects

Notes

This function implicitly calls the reset procedure.
If the message was in a write-only mode, it will be in a read-only/reset mode after the call.
The getMEMPTR function does not create a copy of the MEMPTR variable; it returns a reference to the data maintained by the Message object.
The deleteMessage procedure call releases the variable’s memory, and the caller must copy any data it needs or needs to modify before deleting the message.
