Execute Function (DPL Code)
This function asks the server application to perform an operation. The syntax is
execute(channel,commands)
channel - A number identifying the channel.
commands - A named or literal string constant containing the commands to be executed.
The function returns the number 0.
If the channel argument of the execute function is a constant expression and the containing expression is a constant expression, the function will be performed at compile time; otherwise, the function will be executed each time the containing expression is evaluated and either the channel argument has assumed a new value, a poke or initiate function has been executed, or a refresh command has been executed at the server interface.
Example:
execute(channel, "[CALCULATE NOW()]")
Versions: DPL Professional, DPL Enterprise, DPL Portfolio
