                    in nMaxLen : number optional ): boolean;

Return value

true if successful
false otherwise

Parameter	Description

Example

dcltrans
  transaction TMain
  const
    HOST   := "192.168.20.21"; // server
    PORT   := 1052; // port
    KEY    := "...\h00"; // key
    KEYLEN := 4; // key length
  var
    hIiop: number; // handle to CORBA object
  begin
    IiopSetMaxGiopVersion("1.2");
    IiopSetByteOrder(IIOP_BIG_ENDIAN);

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

    // pass string parameter to request
    IiopSetAnyAsString(hIiop, "Hello world!");

    // call operation "Print" with string parameter
    IiopRequest(hIiop, "Print");
    IiopObjectRelease(hIiop);
  end TMain;
