OUTWORD()
Sends a 16-bit word to a port
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
OUTWORD(<nPort|<cHexPort>,<nOutWord|cHexOutWord>)
--> lSuccessful
Arguments
<nPort|HexPort> Designates a port address to which a word with a 16-
bit value is passed. This value can be a decimal integer or hexadecimal
(sedecimal) string. The maximum is 65520 ("FFF0" Hex).
<nOutWord|cHexOutWord> Designates the word passed to the specified
port. This value can be designated as a decimal integer or hexadecimal
(sedecimal) string. The maximum is 65536 ("FFFF" Hex).
Returns
OUTWORD() returns .T. when the operation is successfully completed. A
return value of .F. indicates a parameter error.
Description
CA-Clipper Tools always attempts to offer finished solutions at the
highest-possible level for such standard hardware as the serial
interface port.. However, if, highly specialized systems and their
ports are to receive data from CA-Clipper, use OUTBYTE() or OUTWORD().
Note
. The function does not determine if a port is open or if you
cannot write to it.
Examples
Output to a 16-bit port.
. With a decimal parameter:
? OUTWORD(512, 32) // Write word to an additional device
. With a hexadecimal parameter:
? OUTWORD("200", "20") // Same port, same value
