Example

This example shows how to stream a BigText that is stored as a BLOB in a table to a BigText variable.

var
    Bstr: BigText;
    Istream: InStream;
    EmployeeRec: Record Employee;
begin
    EmployeeRec.Find('-');  
    EmployeeRec.CalcFields(Picture);  
    EmployeeRec.Picture.CreateInStream(Istream);  
    Bstr.Read(Istream);  
end;

Use the CalcFields Method (Record) to calculate the BlobField. A BlobField is a binary large object (maximum size 2 GB) and must be calculated if you want to use it in AL or display it in the application.
