Closes the specified dynamic data exchange (DDE) conversation.
This statement is supported only for backward compatibility. Use the Component Object Model (COM) instead.
The following fragment shows a typical use of the DDE TERMINATE statement. It assumes that the Microsoft Excel application is running, and has created the default Excel worksheet, Sheet1. It then uses the DDE INITIATE statement to open a conversation with Sheet1 as the topic, returning the channel number of the conversation to the variable, Sheet1. After exchanging data with the worksheet, the example closes the conversation with Sheet1 using the DDE TERMINATE statement.
DEFINE VARIABLE Sheet1 AS INTEGER NO-UNDO. /* DDE-ID to worksheet topic */ DEFINE VARIABLE DDEframe AS HANDLE NO-UNDO. /* DDE frame handle */ CREATE FRAME DDEframe. /* Create DDE frame */ . . . /* Open a DDE conversation with "Sheet1" and assign column headings. */ DDE INITIATE Sheet1 FRAME DDEframe APPLICATION "Excel" TOPIC "Sheet1". DDE SEND Sheet1 SOURCE "Name" ITEM "R1C1". DDE SEND Sheet1 SOURCE "YTD Sales" ITEM "R1C2". DDE SEND Sheet1 SOURCE "State" ITEM "R1C3". . . . DDE TERMINATE Sheet1. |
