In OE, you can call IMPORT UNFORMATTED on a raw variable, with a file or process stream. In case of file, it behaves as expected - reads bytes and saves them into the raw instance. In the case of process stream, OE behaves kind of weird: the next available line gets 'discarded', and after that it 'discards' a number of bytes equal with the length of the raw variable; also, the raw instance size gets set to 0. This should be checked with memptr and blob, too.
For example:
def stream rpt.
def var ch as char.
def var r as raw.
length(r) = 3.
input stream rpt through value ("dir").
import stream rpt unformatted r.
import stream rpt unformatted ch.
message get-string(R, 1) ch length(r).
import stream rpt unformatted ch.
message get-string(R, 1) ch length(r).
input stream rpt close.
