_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.
