Example

    Declare Function EsbOtlGetMemberAlias Lib
    "ESBOTLW" (ByVal hOutline As Long, ByVal hMember
    As Long, ByVal pszAliasTable As String, ByVal pszAlias
    As String) As Long

    Sub ESB_OtlGetMemberAlias()
    Dim sts As Long
    Dim Object As ESB_OBJDEF_T
    Dim hOutline As Long
    Dim hMemberProfit As Long
    Dim szAlias As String * ESB_MBRNAMELEN

    Object.hCtx = hCtx
    Object.Type = ESB_OBJTYPE_OUTLINE
    Object.AppName = "Sample"
    Object.DbName = "Basic"
    Object.FileName = "Basic"

    sts = EsbOtlOpenOutline(hCtx, Object,
    ESB_YES, ESB_YES, hOutline)

    If sts = 0 Then
       sts = EsbOtlFindMember(hOutline,
        "Profit", hMemberProfit)
    End If

    If sts = 0 And hMemberProfit <> 0 Then
