(RPC Manager Library)
Description: | This subroutine sets the specified variable within an application instance on a workstation to the specified value. Subroutine call only. |
Returns: | Nothing |

Function Groups: | Network |
Related to: | ConnectToMachine | DisconnectFromMachine | GetServer | GetServersListed | GetStatus | IsClient | IsPotentialServer | IsPrimaryServer | Register (RPC Manager) | Send |
Format: | \RPCManager\SetRemoteValue(VariableScope, Variable, Value, Name [, OptGUID]) |
Parameters: |
VariableScope |
Required. The scope in which to find the variable. |
Variable |
Required. The name of the variable. |
Value |
Required. The value to set for the variable. Subject to the restriction of the type of values that can be set via RPC. |
Name |
Required. Any of the names or IPs by which the workstation is known to the RPC Manager. |
OptGUID |
Any optional parameter that provides the GUID of the application in which the variable is to be set. The default is the application to which the caller belongs. |
Comments: | This subroutine is a member of the RPC Manager's Library, and must therefore be prefaced by \RPCManager\, as shown in the "Format" section. If the application you are developing is a script application, the subroutine call must be prefaced by System\RPCManager\, and the System variable must be declared in AppRoot.src. If the 16-byte binary format of the GUID is not known, the GetGUID function may be used to obtain it. |
Example:
If 1 Main; [ \RPCManager\SetRemoteValue("\" { root of app context }, "DispMgrFullScreen" { var name }, 1 { value }, "TestMachine"); ]
This will cause the variable (flag) DispMgrFullScreen, which is found in the root scope of the application, to be set to 1 on the machine called TestMachine.
