CREATEINSTREAM Function (BLOB)
Creates an InStream object for a binary large object (BLOB). This enables you to read data from the BLOB.
Syntax
Blob.CreateInStream(Stream[,TextEncoding.value])
Parameters
Blob
Type: Variable
The BLOB variable for which you are creating the InStream object.
Stream
Type: InStream
The InStream object type that has been created.
TextEncoding
Value: MsDos, UTF8, UTF16, or Windows
Optionally, you can specify the encoding on the stream. By specifying the text encoding, you ensure that all the language-specific characters are represented correctly in Dynamics NAV when you read data and write data. The following example illustrates how you can set the encoding to Windows when you create a stream for a BLOB field.
MyTable.MyBLOBfield.CREATEINSTREAM(MyStream, TextEncoding.WINDOWS)
