    KEY    := "...\h00"; // key
    KEYLEN := 4; // key length
  var
    hIiop : number;
    // Handle to CORBA object
    nAbs  : number;
  begin
    IiopSetMaxGiopVersion("1.2");
    IiopSetByteOrder(IIOP_BIG_ENDIAN);

    // retrieve handle to server
    IiopObjectCreate(hIiop, "IDL:DemoObject:1.0", "1.2",
                     HOST, PORT, KEY, KEYLEN);

   // call request "Abs" with short value parameter
    IiopSetShort(hIiop, -104);
    IiopRequest(hIiop, "Abs"); 

    // retrieve short value return parameter
    nAbs := IiopGetShort(hIiop);
    write("absolute value = "); write(nAbs); writeln;
