How to Re-Write DDE Code Calling PowerBuilder EXE File in Forms 10g
We're upgrading a 6i client-server Forms app to 10g. There are few places where DDE was used to call Powerbuilder modules (.exe files).
In 6i, we're performing something like the following DDE commands:
l_app_id := DDE.APP_BEGIN('receipt.exe', DDE.APP_MODE_NORMAL);
l_conv_id := DDE.INITIATE('receipt', 'System');
DDE.POKE(l_conv_id,'gv_track_num',l_passed_string,DDE.CF_TEXT, 3000);
DDE.APP_END(l_app_id);
How do we utilize OLE2 from Webutil in 10g for something like this? The only examples we've been able to find for OLE2 are for Word and Excel.
Thanks for any help!!!
