12Functional Details #!N #!N This module sends variable values from a
13visual program to a remote application that uses the DXLink library
14of function calls (see  #!Ldxlink,dxall1141 h DXLink Developer's Toolkit  #!EL  in IBM Visualization Data Explorer Programmer's
15Reference). Values are sent as strings and in the same format
16as that used by the Echo tool. #!N #!I0 #!N #!N

18in function to the label set in the DXLInput configuration dialog
19box in that it associates a name (i.e., a global variable
20name) with a value. This global variable name is used in
21the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   DXLSetValueHandler() #!EF routine of the DXLink library (see  #!Lrcvmsg,dxall1149 h Receiving Messages from the Server  #!EL
22in IBM Visualization Data Explorer Programmer's Reference). #!N #!N The remote
23application should install a handler for the various  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   label #!EF
24ed global variable names in a program (see DXLSetValueHandler in  #!Lrcvmsg,dxall1149 h Receiving Messages from the Server  #!EL
25in IBM Visualization Data Explorer Programmer's Reference). In general,  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   label
26#!EF values should be unique within a program. Note: If you
27are using the Data Explorer user interface,  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   label #!EF does
28not appear as an input parameter but is set in the
29 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   notation #!EF field of the DXLOutput configuration dialog box. #!N

31value that is to be converted to a string and sent
32to a remote application. This value must be a Data Explorer
33value list or string (e.g., a scalar, integer list, matrix, etc.).
34It cannot be a Field or Group object. #!I0 #!N #!N
