Create a new built-in function by establishing a symbolic name and associating it with an entry point in a DLL. This is used with the MFG API that allows the MFG to call functions with a predefined signature that reside in a DLL.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.
Syntax:
&ENTRY (DLLname, entrypointname)
Parameters:
|
DLLname
|
DLL name, which is a string value, such as F:\MYDLLS\MYFUNCS.DLL.
|
|
entrypointname
|
Name of an entry point exported by the DLL.

Example:
The following statement
% &READDB = &ENTRY ("F:\ODBC\ODBCFCNS.DLL", "PerformSelect")
Defines a new function name, &READDB, which can be called like any other built-in function.
% &RC = &READDB ("CUSTDB", "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER")
