Siebel Library Write Data Method

The Siebel Library Write Data method writes data to a specific position in memory. It returns the address of the byte that immediately follows the data that it writes.

CAUTION:  If your code directly accesses memory, then you must use this code with caution. To avoid moving data unexpectedly, you must clearly understand how the Siebel Library Write Data method affects memory.

Format

SElib.poke(address, data[, dataType])

Table 122 describes the arguments for the Siebel Library Write Data method.

Example

The following example includes the Siebel Library Write Data method:

TheApplication().TraceOn("c:\\eScript_trace.txt","allocation","all");
var v = new Buffer("Now");
// Collect "Now", the original value, for display.
TheApplication().Trace(v);
// Get the address of the first byte of v, "N"
var vPtr = SElib.pointer(v);
// Get the "N"
var p = SElib.peek(vPtr);
// Convert "N" to "P"
SElib.poke(vPtr,p+2);
// Display "Pow"
TheApplication().Trace(v);
TheApplication().TraceOff();

This example produces the following output:

COMMENT,Now
COMMENT,Pow
