Detailed Description

Stream class that stores binary data in external files.

This class is deprecated in favor of <class>Stream.FileBinary</class>. For example the following code opens a file binary stream, points it at a particular file on the filesystem and then reads it in chunks of 32,000 bytes:

Set stream=##class(FileBinaryStream).New() Set stream.Filename="c:\myfile.txt" While 'stream.AtEnd { Set line=stream.Read() ; Process the chunk here }
