Discussion
This function can be used in both client and server programs. If used in a client program, it sends data to the server. If used in a server program, it sends data to the client.
All data written with this routine must first be converted to a byte array. For information on converting data to a byte array, refer to documentation on the BYTE and BYTEORDER functions.
Example
The following server program uses SOCKET_WRITE to send a string to a client. Note that the string is first converted to type byte.
PRO SERVER
port = 1500
socket = SOCKET_INIT(port)
connection = SOCKET_ACCEPT(socket)
data = BYTE('Server String ') SOCKET_WRITE, connection, data
SOCKET_CLOSE, connection
SOCKET_CLOSE, socket
END
