Clib Create Temporary File Method

The Clib Create Temporary File method creates and opens a temporary binary file. It automatically removes the file pointer and the temporary file when Siebel CRM closes the file or when the code finishes. It returns one of the following values:

• If successful, then it returns the file pointer of the file that it created.
• If not successful, then it returns the following value:

  Null

The location of where it creates the temporary file depends on how Clib is implemented on the operating system you use.
