[progress Communities] [progress Openedge Abl] Forum Post: Input From Named Pipe

[Michael Brandt]

I am trying to read from a named pipe on linux into a longchar. I first tried the copy-lob, but this didn't work for named pipes. Then I tried Input From, and the compiler said longchar is an invalid import source. Is there any way to read directly from a named pipe into a longchar? If I used input/import and read the named pipe to a char with a repeat statement, will there be any problems if the pipe contains more data than can fit into a regular char? Are there any best practices for doing this? I'm using 10.2B008. Thanks, Michael
