14.2.3         DDE Keymacros

The DDE Keymacros send or read data from 3^rd Party DDE Servers:

<DDEREQUEST>     Requests the value of item from a DDE-aware application and writes the data to the WebAccess tag. Syntax: <DDEREQUEST>tag=Server|topic!item

<DDEPOKE>          Send value to a DDE server application.
Syntax: <DDEPOKE>Server|topic!item=@tag

<DDEEXECUTE>     Send a command string to a DDE server application
Syntax:
<DDEEXECUTE>Server|topic!item=command

These keymacro can be added to pushbuttons.  The Keymacros allow users and operators to read or write data to other 3^rd Party applications that are DDE Servers.  EXCEL is a DDE Server application.

Long Commands are best implemented using a Keymacro File and then triggering the keymacro file with the <MCREXEC>@ keymacro.

Please refer to the Keymacro section for a complete description of these keymacros.
