BBjConfig::unpinSession

Description

In BBj 7.0 and higher, this BBjConfig method unpins all the programs and resources in a given session. Loading these programs or resources again causes BBj to check their timestamp and load a new version on disk, if the timestamp has changed.

Syntax

void	unpinSession()

Parameters

None.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

This method only affects the session in which it is executed.

Example

rem 'unpinSession.src:

    callProg$ = "unpinSession2.src"
    if (ARGC > 1) then GOTO CHANGE_PROGRAM FI
    CALL callProg$, A

    rem ' A should now equal 5
    PRINT "A = 5:", A
    DUMMY = SCALL("bbj " + pgm(-1) + " - 1")

    rem ' Run it again. We will not see the changes yet.
    CALL callProg$, A
    PRINT "A = 5 still:", A

    rem ' Unpin the program in the session to get the changes
    myApi! = BBjAPI()
    myConfig! = myApi!.getConfig()
    myConfig!.unpinSession()

    rem ' Run it a third time. This time we'll see the changes
    CALL callProg$, A
    PRINT "Now A = 3:", A
END

CHANGE_PROGRAM:
    rem ' Open the program file to modify it.
    OPEN(1,MODE="O_APPEND")callProg$
    WRITE(1)"B = 3"
    CLOSE(1)
release

rem 'unpinSession2.src:
    rem ' Assigning to B will assign to a in the calling program.
    ENTER B
    B = 5
