Overview of Buffer Methods

A buffer method allows you to manipulate data at a very basic level. It is required if the relative position of data in memory is important. You can configure Siebel CRM to store any type of data in a buffer object.

You can configure Siebel CRM to create a new buffer object from the following items:

• Nothing.
• A string, a buffer, or a buffer object. Siebel CRM copies the contents of the string, buffer, or buffer object to the new buffer object.

The examples for buffer methods in this chapter use the bufferVar argument as a generic argument name. Siebel CRM assigns a buffer object to this generic argument.
