    _runNoWait

    (As of 3.2.001.02) 

    Execute another program and do not wait for the result. Runs the specified program, passing the argument list as command line parameters.

    Syntax

    _runNoWait(program[, args])

    Parameters

    program is the fully qualified program name. (Fully is preferred but sufficiently will do.)

    args can be a text string that is the full command line or args can be a JavaScript object or array whose properties define the argument list. If args is a text string, the string will simply be passed as-is to the called program. If args is a JavaScript object, each object property name becomes a DocOrigin-style -name command line option name and the property's value becomes its value. E.g.

    args.form = "$F/myForm.xatw";

    For third-party applications that don't use the -name=value syntax, use a numeric property name, e.g.

    args[0] = "3rd party command line part";

    Returned Value

    Returns zero on success.

    Description

    It differs from _run (Execute Another Program) in that we do not wait for any result to come back. Fire and forget.
