Here is the sample:

#Define S_OK  0

Declare Long BstrFromVector in OLEAut32 ;
   Long psa, Long @pBString
Declare Long SysStringLen in OleAut32 Long BString
Declare SysFreeString in OleAut32 Long BString

pBString = 0
If (type( 'PostData' ) != 'L')
   If (BstrFromVector( PostData, @pBString ) == S_OK)
      nLen = SysStringLen( pBString ) * 2
      ? sys( 2600, pBString, nLen )
      SysFreeString( pBString )
   endif
endif
