SetStream Method for LCField

This method sets the value of the field to a specified LCStream value (text or binary). If the field is not of type LCTYPE_STREAM, or is of that type but uses a format that does not match the supplied value (text as opposed to binary, for instance), Notes® tries to convert the value to the field's type. If this fails, error LCFAIL_INVALID_CONVERT will occur.

The data type of the field will not change from this operation -- only the field's value.

Uselsx "*lsxlc"  
Sub Initialize
  Dim field As New LCField (LCTYPE_TEXT)
  Dim msg As New LCStream
  msg.Text = "Hello World"
  Call field.SetStream (1, msg)
  Print "The field's value is " & field.text(0)
End Sub

The field's value is Hello World.
