Usage notes

• $Lstr_Get_Image and $Lstr_Set_Image can be useful for maintaining :
  • Multiple copies of or versions of an image in a single request
  • One or more global copies of an image (using global Longstrings) without using the GTBL space required by the standard GLOBAL IMAGE feature
  • Copies of an image associated with a session that survives a logout (using session Longstrings).
