| Action | [Statement] Writes a list of items in internal Equinox format to a random file. |
| Scope | Usable anywhere |
| Notes | This statement writes items in internal format to a file from Equinox variables or fields. A list of mixed types can be written to the file in one operation. Strings are preceded by a 16-bit length and memos by a 32-bit length. This statement will not work if the file has been opened as a sequential file. The HandleItem parameter must be of Equinox variable type Handle and is the handle of the file which was opened with the FileOpen statement. After the statement has executed, SysReply contains the number of items written. The system workarea SysError is 1 if an error occurs, otherwise zero. |
