Syntax

CALL NOTIFY(OLE-object-name,'_UPDATE_'<,in-hservice>);

Argument	Character (C) or Numeric (N)	Description
in-hservice	C	specifies the name of the HSERVICE entry to use to update the object.

Details

The _UPDATE_ method recreates an object and updates its contents based on its current attributes. The in-hservice parameter is used only with OLE objects and is the name of an HSERVICE catalog entry. When you specify the in-hservice parameter, the object specified by OLE-object is changed to the object stored in the HSERVICE entry referenced by the in-hservice parameter.

If you use the _UPDATE_ method without specifying in-hservice, the object's contents are updated with the current OLE object source. This process is useful for manually updating a linked object.

Example

In the following example, the object stored in OBJ1 is replaced by the Sasuser.Examples.Sound1.Hservice object:

length refid $ 30;
call notify('obj1','_update_',
            'sasuser.examples.sound1.hservice');
