VRDescriptiveText
Poking sends two pieces of data from the client application (VX-REXX) to WSQL DDE Server: a data buffer and an item name specifying what to do with the data.
There are five WSQL DDE Server functions which you can access through poking: 'Connect', 'Disconnect', 'Add', 'Clear' and 'Clip'
VX-REXX Example: status= VRMethod("DDEC_1", "Poke", item , data)
WSQL Example: Poke Connect
The contents of data are ignored.
WSQL Example: Poke Disconnect
To terminate the current connection. The contents of data are ignored. Note: This command will not terminate the DDE conversation only the connection, use the terminate command of VX-REXX to terminate the conversation or Intiate method will also terminate the present conversations.
WSQL Example: Poke Add text
WSQL DDE Server allows an application to build a complete query string by adding together with shorter strings. Each DDE conversation has its own query buffer.
