Very Cool. Thank you!!!
BTW. I was able to get the tif image into a variable and display it in a
form, but I had to use a different syntax to get it to work.
SET VAR vImage VARBIT = ['Multi.tiff'|2, dmstretch]
When I used the syntax in the below documentation, all I got was a VARCHAR
with the text 'Multi.tiff|2, dmstretch' in it. Was that supposed to happen
or am I missing something? Shouldn't this be a VARBIT?
BTW. What are some of the other R:Blob parameters.
