CREATE PORT

The CREATE PORT statement creates a communication port on the DOJO server, which allows you to send and receive messages. Each port has 256 independent communication channels, on which you can send and receive messages. This statement returns a unique port identifier, which can be communicated to the user via the PRINT command and used as a 32-bit number. For this reason, the code contains 8 hexadecimal digits. The identifier must be used to open a connection via the OPEN PORT command, in case you want to reuse the connection at a later time or to coordinate the participants in a communication.
