A text command, which is generated as the value of the expression strExpression, is sent to the process procIdent. There are two possibilities to send the command:
Asynchronously - the first possibility (with no assignment). The command is sent to the process and does not wait for the operation result.
Synchronously - the second possibility. The result of the action execution is assigned to the identifier intIdent of Integer type. The result of the action COMMAND may acquire one of the following values:
_ERR_TRANS_ABORT
_ERR_TRANS_ERROR
_ERR_TRANS_IGNORED
_ERR_NO_ERROR
If procIdent is not stated, the command will be sent to D2000 Server process.
Note
The action acts the same function as the process D2000 Tell.
The list of currently implemented commands for individual processes may be obtained via the process D2000 Application Manager by the right-mouse click on the particular process and select Tell. The opened dialog box contains all implemented commands with a short description.
If the expression instanceExprInt is not being used and the process is running as instance the TELL command will be sent to all running instances.
INT _ret
; sending the TELL command to D2000 Server
_ret := COMMAND "STOP SELF.KOM"
; sending the TELL command to process SELF.ARC
_ret := COMMAND "DI ON" ON SELF.ARC
; if the instances of process SELF.ARC are running, for example: [1]_SELF.ARC [2]_SELF.ARC
; the previous action delivers the TELL command to both instances
; sending the TELL command to instance 2 of process SELF.ARC
_ret := COMMAND "DI OFF" ON SELF.ARC INSTANCE 2
