Summary

Retrieve binary data.

Syntax

Long DataB (Buffer, Bytes)

Buffer Variant
Bytes Long

Description

The DataB method retrieves the binary data and passes it to the application.

The DataB method takes a buffer (Buffer) and the number of bytes to read (Bytes) as its parameters and returns the actual number of bytes retrieved. The Buffer parameter should be an array of bytes data type. The Bytes parameter specifies how many bytes should be retrieved.

If there are less data to be read than the requested Bytes, only the available data are read. This is reflected in the return value. If the returned value is less than the requested Bytes, this means there are less data available than requested. The application should also check to make sure what is the actual number of bytes read.

Example

Length = VT220Client.DataB (Buffer, Bytes)

"The night before I went on summer holiday we had to make some 'last minute' configuration changes to approx. 300 routers, a tedious job to do manually with telnet. We went along with MS Excel containing a list of IP-adresses to the routers, and the VIT telnet-component. One hour later the VBA-application (small is beautiful) was working, and after another hour all of our routers were updated with the new configuration. I just say a big "Thanks" to you all for a good sleep that night."
