Introduced in v4.1, Preemptive: yes

Parameter	Type	In/Out	Description
Area	Longint	→	hmReports area
Blob	Blob	←	Blob with the virtual structure

Description

The command hmRep_VStructure To Blob returns the complete virtual structure as a binary into a blob. With this command and hmRep_BLOB TO VSTRUCTURE you can store and restore the virtual structure very quickly.

If you want to get the blob from the global virtual structure, just pass 0 in the parameter area. If you pass a valid area, the blob will be created from the virtual structure of the area.

Example

The following example returns the (global) virtual structure as a blob and restores the blob again:

var $vx_blob : Blob

$vx_blob:=hmRep_VStructure To Blob(0)

hmRep_BLOB TO VSTRUCTURE(0; $vx_blob)
