Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Programming Interfaces

Linking OpenEdge and non-OpenEdge processes using Windows named pipes

You can link OpenEdge and non-OpenEdge processes using Windows named pipes, just as you can using UNIX named pipes. The resulting application consists of:

A 32-bit OpenEdge Windows client running a 4GL application in the background.
A non-OpenEdge program.

The OpenEdge program reads, writes, and closes one or more Windows named pipes. The non-OpenEdge program creates, connects, reads, writes, and closes the named pipe or pipes.
