## Description

Sends the data for service DDE-VIEW.SERVICE, topic DDE-VIEW.TOPIC, conversation-ID DDE-VIEW.CONV-ID, and item DDE-VIEW.ITEM to the client.

The data to be sent are contained in DDE-VIEW.DATA and must have been requested by the client in a "Request" or "Advise" message. DDE-VIEW.ITEM must be set to the item that was requested. Note that even if the "Advise" message resulted in a warm link, the data should still be specified. Natural will then decide whether the data will actually be sent to the client.

When sending data to the client, you must set DDE-VIEW.DATALEN to a value:

- If set to "0", the entire data will be sent; the client will send on return a value that indicates how many data were actually sent.

- If set to "-1", trailing blanks will be removed and the client will send on return a value that indicates how many data were actually sent.

- If set to a value greater zero, this amount of data is actually sent.
