Description

The SAVEOBJECT() function is used to save an object or dynamic array to an external .obf file. The <object> is the name of the object and <expC> is the name of the target file. If the file extension is not specififed, '.obf' is assumed. The SAVEOBJECT() function returns .T. (true) if the object is successfully saved.

The built-in save class method can also be used to save an object to an external .obf file. Similarly, the LOADOBJECT() function can be used to restore an object or dynamic array from an external .obf file and objects have access to the built-in load class method.

Example

class myclass
...
endclass
 
obj1 = new myclass()
saveobject(obj1,"file1")
// or
obj1.save("file1")
