lcEncoding = "base64"
lcEncData = "... BASE64 DATA ..."

* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The AppendDataEncoded method is deprecated:

loEntryObj = loZip.AppendDataEncoded(lcPathInZip,lcEncoding,lcEncData)
IF (loZip.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* ...
* ...

RELEASE loEntryObj

* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Do the equivalent using AddEncoded.

* Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
lnSuccess = loZip.AddEncoded(lcPathInZip,lcEncoding,lcEncData)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
* The newly appended entry is the last one.
loZe = CreateObject('Chilkat.ZipEntry')
lnIndex = loZip.NumEntries - 1
loZip.EntryAt(lnIndex,loZe)

RELEASE loZip
