IBEScript.dll interface & Callback functions

New interface functions were implemented in IBExpert version 2020.09.21 to allow user applications to communicate with IBEBlocks:

  1. Set IBEBlock parameters from user application.
  2. Get IBEBlock output values.
  3. Perform user callback in any place of IBEBlock code passing data from within a block and returning user data back to a block.

All functions described above provide ABlockName argument which contains the name of the block if execution of that block was initiated as below: 

 EXECUTE IBEBLOCK MYBLOCK ...

If block name is missing ABlockName parameter will contain an empty string.
