Syntax

Description

DDE command, Omnis as client. This command sends the value of an Omnis field to the current DDE channel. An error occurs if the channel is not open. The command takes the Omnis field name and the server data item name as parameters. The data item name can contain square bracket notation. If the data item name is not specified, the Omnis field name is used.

The flag is set if the server program accepts the value.
