Multiple Scripts using DDEEXECUTE

[aaiqbal]

Hey Everyone,
I am using a script to dynamically open a new window and run a script in that window. Is it possible for me to run more than 1 script in that remote window? ProComm seems to completely skip over the execution of the second script in the remote window. (The execution of the first script is fine). I would appreciate any help.

You should be able to run more than one script consecutively via DDE. Here is a sample script from my site that original ran just the hints script, but I modified it to also run the hostutil script five seconds later.

proc main
string pathname
integer pwhwnd
long pwchanid

pathname = $pwtaskpath ;Get PW's path.
addfilename pathname "PW5.EXE" ;Add Procomm's EXE.
if run pathname ;Run the program.
pause 2
pwhwnd = $mainwin ;Get the active window ID.
if ddeinit pwchanid "PW5" "System" pwhwnd ;Establish DDE connection.
ddeexecute pwchanid "EXECUTE HINTS.WAX"
usermsg "DDE channel successfully established!"
pause 5
ddeexecute pwchanid "EXECUTE HOSTUTIL.WAX"
else
errormsg "Error initializing DDE channel"
endif
else ;Problems running program.
errormsg "Error running %s" pathname
endif
endproc
