EXECUTE

Purpose:

Executes a command string in DADiSP’s ActiveX Automation Server.

[out] INT result = Execute(

[in] BSTR "command")

"command"

A string, any valid expression.

An integer, 1 if successful.

Visual Basic Example:

Dim DADiSP as Object

Dim status as Integer

’’’ Connect to DADiSP

Set DADiSP = CreateObject("dadisp.application")

’’’ Create a 2 Window Worksheet without prompting

Call DADiSP.Execute("Newworksheet(2, 0)")

’’’ Generate random data in W1, return status value

status = DADiSP.Execute("W1: Grand(1000, 1)")

’’’ show it

DADiSP.Visible = 1

Starts DADiSP as an ActiveX Automation server, creates a 2 Window Worksheet and places 1000 random samples in W1.

Any DADiSP command can be executed. Multiple statements are separated by semicolons.

EXECUTE evaluates the command string in the current Worksheet and returns the integer 1 if the command execution was successful.

See EVALUATE to evaluate a command string and return the result as a string.
