GOAL:
How to copy records to a variable using the clipboard handle.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows 32 Intel
Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows2000
FIX:
The code uses the Customer table from the Sports Database.
Two alternative methods are: 1) output to a file and concatenate the input stream to the variable, or 2) walk the _field table for the table in question and concatenate the values to the variable.
DEFINE VARIABLE cCust AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
FOR EACH Customer NO-LOCK:
OUTPUT TO "CLIPBOARD".
EXPORT Customer.
OUTPUT CLOSE.
ASSIGN cCust = CLIPBOARD:VALUE.
MESSAGE cCust VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
END.
