I need help in how to make this in my data section.

lpdwHandle
[out] Pointer to a variable that the function sets to zero.

lp == Long Pointer
dw == DWORD so

HandleOut DWORD ?

and Invoke SomeFunction, offset HandleOut

when you pass the address of a variable, that is called a pointer

Code Select

dwHandle HANDLE ?

then, lpdwHandle is the address of it
although, i usually use "h"

Code Select

hHandle HANDLE ?

even better to use some sort of descriptive name

Code Select

hFileInp HANDLE ?
hFileOut HANDLE ?
