When using OMNIC DDE commands in report templates, the syntax differs slightly from other uses. The "Execute OMNIC", "Set OMNIC", and "Get OMNIC" parameters are omitted, and quotes are not used. For example, "GetOMNIC 'Collect Resolution'" becomes "Collect Resolution" in DDE report items.

Issue

When trying to use OMNIC DDE commands in report templates, the syntax is slightly different than when using them elsewhere.

Environment

OMNIC

Resolution

Because of the syntax, the choices will be slightly limited. The "Execute OMNIC", "Set OMNIC", "Get OMNIC" parameters at the beginning of the command are no longer used. For example: GetOMNIC "Collect Resolution" would be entered as: Collect Resolution when used in the DDE report item. Notice that the quotes are no longer used also.
