marshal(OtdOutputStream out) Method

The marshal(OtdOutputStream out) method serializes the content of the OTD and writes it to the supplied output stream object. The output is encoded using the same user-specified encoding used when the data was last unmarshaled (see setEncoding and unmarshal documentation for additional details). If no data was unmarshaled prior to the call to marshal, then EBCDIC CP037 encoding is used. If the OTD content is not compatible with the current encoding (this can happen if the data was unmarshaled using an encoding different from the current one), com.stc.otd.MarshalException occurs. A java.io.IOException is generated if an output error occurs in attempting to write data to the stream object.
