14.2.4         DDE Script Action commands

The DDE commands used in Scripts 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=value"

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

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.
