The WR BLOB TO AREA command loads into the 4D Write area area the contents of blob. The contents of the BLOB are assumed to be 4D Write data.

The contents of the Blob can either be data that was automatically saved from a 4D Write area associated by name with a BLOB, or data that was saved using the WR Area to blob command.

 QUERY([Templates];[Templates]Texts=Ref)
 If(Records in selection([Templates])>0)
    WR BLOB TO AREA(Area;[Templates]Reference_)
 End if

You want to copy the text stored in the "[Templates]TheText_" BLOB field and paste it in the current area on screen. This example shows you how to create an advanced glossary system:
